The Hand Behind Every Surface
Mirrors pressed into clay. Silk painted brushstroke by brushstroke. Walls transformed by hand. No prints. No plotters. No shortcuts. When you commission SIA Art Studio, you commission six artists who have given their lives to the craft.
The Studio
Founded by Vaishnavi Gupta, Vinod Gautam, and Trayambakeshwar Shukla — three artists from RML University, Ayodhya — joined by three independent artists who share their vision.

What We Create
Bespoke Lippan Art
Lippan is a 700-year-old craft from Kutch, Gujarat — mirror and clay relief work traditionally used to bring light into dark interior spaces. We create bespoke Lippan installations for pooja rooms, staircases, entrance foyers, hotel lobbies, and commercial spaces. Custom panels and full wall installations priced at ₹1,200–2,000/sq ft. The craft is too labour-intensive for mass production. That is exactly why it is valuable.

Hand-Painted Silk Panels
Botanical chinoiserie hand-painted on raw silk — the same category that sells for $1,200–2,500 per panel in international markets. SIA produces comparable work at Indian artisan costs. There is no other Indian studio doing this at international standards. These panels are available for luxury dining rooms, bedrooms, hospitality suites, and international collectors.

Cultural Wall Murals
Hand-painted murals that tell cultural stories — South Indian temple streetscapes for cafes, heritage scenes for hotel lobbies, sacred narratives for community spaces. Every mural begins with a site visit — we understand light, foot traffic, and the architecture's personality before a single stroke is made. From 50 sq ft accent walls to 500+ sq ft lobby installations.

Impressionistic India Paintings
Original palette knife paintings capturing India's most evocative landmarks — Varanasi ghats at sunset, Golden Temple at dawn, Meenakshi Madurai in terracotta tones, Hampi ruins in golden light. Sandhya Kaushik and Vinod Gautam paint these in bold impasto strokes that shift with the light in your room. Each is a one-of-a-kind original for homes, offices, and hospitality spaces.

Canvas Art & Metallic Works
Metallic monochromes by Bunty Kumar — copper, gold, and silver layered by palette knife. Architectural sketches by Trayambakeshwar Shukla. Hand-embellished prints with genuine gold leaf and metallic accents. Every piece is singular — not an edition, not a reproduction.

Hand-painted murals, Lippan installations, mandala walls, and rangoli for pooja rooms, staircases, cafes, restaurants, bedrooms, hallways, entrances, and celebrations.
Commercial & Events
Hand-Painted Silk
Botanical chinoiserie painted by hand on raw silk. The international luxury market pays $1,200–2,500 per panel for this category. SIA Art Studio produces the same standard of work in Ayodhya, at costs that make it available to Indian clients and international buyers who know what they are looking at. No other Indian studio is doing this. We intend to keep it that way.
Lippan Art
Lippan work originated in the Kutch region of Gujarat — a technique of moulding clay into geometric and floral reliefs, then pressing fragments of mirrored glass into the surface. In traditional homes, it was used to bring light into interior rooms that received no direct sunlight. Vaishnavi Gupta trained in this tradition and has developed an architectural application that scales from a single feature wall to a full lobby installation. The mirrors do not decorate the surface. They animate it.
