New Delhi – Niyamat Mehta, the celebrated young sculptor, showcased her collection to an enthralled audience at Café Dali, New Delhi, India recently in May 2024. The event, which featured live sculpting demonstrations by Niyamat, drew an esteemed guest list of people from the creative and art world.
Mehta’s collection, inspired by the fluidity of movement and the surreal realms of Salvador Dali, comprises an exquisite array of sculptures that pushes the boundaries of imagination and artistic expression. Each piece, meticulously crafted with precision and care, invites viewers to journey through the depths of human emotion and the intricacies of the human form.
