About the Vision of the Artist
Sharmila Mangwani (Shaman) is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose practice spans over three decades across graphic design, visual arts, and sculptural experimentation. Trained in Commercial Art at Sophia Polytechnic, Mumbai, she began her career in graphic design before gradually expanding into fine art—exploring inks, pastels, gold leaf, and eventually three-dimensional forms inspired by sacred geometry and metaphysical ideas.
From an early age, she had a strong instinct for visual balance and colour, and her work has continually evolved through curiosity, material exploration, and an intuitive creative philosophy. Her explorations with process and material also led her to establish Eazi Art OPC Pvt. Ltd., encouraging the use of innovative art materials across India.
Today, her artistic vision finds its fullest expression through sculptural forms that merge sacred geometry, movement, and meditative design. These works transform flat, geometric surfaces into dynamic structures that embody continuity, balance, and infinite flow. Mobius-like loops, circular and triangular geometries, and interwoven planes become pathways for exploring dualities—chaos and clarity, past and future, contraction and expansion. For Sharmila, these opposites are not contradictions but essential counterparts, reflecting her belief that completeness arises from the coexistence of opposing forces. Her sculptures invite viewers to engage with this search for harmony—between form and energy, intuition and technique, and the physical presence of an object and the unseen dimensions it quietly evokes.
Materially, Sharmila combines engineering precision with intuitive artistry. Her process incorporates fibreglass, metal, and composite techniques, along with custom surface treatments that respond to shifting light. Smooth and textured surfaces, curved and angular lines, solidity and ethereality coexist within each work, reflecting the interplay of opposites that defines her artistic inquiry. They blur the boundaries between art, design, and engineered form, offering portals into themes of transformation and equilibrium.
About the Artist & the Vision
Each piece you encounter here is more than an object — it is a quiet conversation between thought, form, and emotion. The artist approaches every sculpture as an exploration, a reflection of moments witnessed and feelings deeply felt. It is in this space — between what is seen and what is felt — that her work finds its voice.
Driven by a belief that beauty can hold profound meaning, she crafts forms that invite reflection and connection. The interplay of light, texture, and movement becomes a language — a way of capturing moments that often slip past in the rush of everyday life. Her creative process is rooted in a deep observation of the world around her: the curve of a shadow, the stillness in nature, the tension between strength and fragility. These moments evolve into pieces that quietly tell a story.
But this work is about more than the making of beautiful objects. It is about creating a space for empathy and belonging, a space where each piece can spark a thought, evoke an emotion, or simply invite a moment of pause.
Through this practice, she aims to create more than just a visual experience. Every piece finds its purpose beyond itself, as proceeds from the work support medical aid for those in need. In this way, the circle is complete — from the artist’s hand, to the viewer’s heart, and ultimately to a cause that can make a meaningful difference.
Here, art becomes an instrument for change. Its value is measured not only in its form, but in its ability to connect, uplift, and give back.
