Kalyan S Rathore

His Inspiration for his art comes from Biology and Geometry. Geometry is a medium that gives him the freedom to express. He creates prototypes in paper by cutting and folding before the actual production ensuring that he has the detailing in place.

He has received the Facebook India Award, holds a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest sculpture using photographs and has a CNN certificate for a video contribution.

He attributes the Guinness World Record achievement to an ingenious design breakthrough that was inspired by nature. His art has been commissioned in India, Singapore, Canada and Switzerland.

He says “As turn of events would have it, I was drawn towards creating sculptural forms around the year 2002. With seemingly unrelated experiences and interests. Connecting the dots of all my past experiences I began exploring forms in nature through the eyes of an engineer. It fascinated me that mathematical algorithms existed in various aspects of nature as did principles of engineering…I began to see a picture now. In creating sculptures I sought to discover these congruencies.

The various animal forms I created brought me on a path of discovery of evolution; the similarities and differences among species and the human perception of it…”
