An ode to love
In nature, light creates the color.

An ode to love
Look deep into nature,
and then you will
understand everything better.
from my heart
the beauty of nature always brings inspiration to us
Nature manifests itself in many forms and ways; subtly whispering hymns of creativity and propelling life.
Flowers are one such creation - sublime, tender and beautiful. From when we are born to the day we dissolve back, they have an unique way of accompanying us: spreading their fragrance in the aura of our existence.
Manju Shukla
An ode to love, Lucknow
"Love is an absolute quality and energy. It does not stop with our death. It continues onto the other side and returns here again. It is the epitome of the spirit's quality, and of the body's. It is the life and the afterlife. It is our goal, and all of us, in this or future lives will seek to attain."
An Ode to Love remains an expression in memory of my Guru, my beloved husband: Shri Bhairavnath Shukla, former Principal of Arts College, Lalit Kala Academy Regional Centre, Lucknow. He taught and walked with me through this life; in his love and remembrance, emerge twigs and flowers - with the brush he left in my hands.
Collaborative creation
Collaborative creation: Artist and artisan partnership that bend the boundaries of aesthetic design
In a new era of creativity, artists from numerous fields are collaborating with one another. In the fashion world, such joint endeavours have been commonplace for some time, now art too is also embracing such shifts.
Recently, one such initiative was brought to the forefront with renowned fashion designer - James Ferreira (jamesferreira.co.in).
In keeping with the vision to collaborate and promote sustainable fabrics and art, and moving away from the traditional model; where designer and artisan were employed as silent contributors - to create a unique collection of prêt with hand painted works of Ms Shukla.
