Handpicked Souls

There is life in every image and every image has words in it. Nothing worthwhile was ever achieved without pain and sacrifice. Every image has life in it. These images are the possessions over the years and have added immense value. The artifacts and collectives have been acquired over the years with great attention. I have managed to photo-capture some of these that has stayed close to us. 

This terra cotta mushroom adds great essence to anyone's collection. These unglazed earthenware are made with particular intend.


The puzzled pig? let us wait and watch


When was the last time people thought of using a manual coffee vending machine in this urban world?


The Kenyan key-hanger offers food for thought


The icy slice. Quite Finnish



The oil on canvas does require regular maintenance. The paintings are framed without glass so that the paintings can breathe. I quite learnt this the hard way


This photograph is quite close to my heart. I always felt someone knocking at my car. Could that be you?


My first and immediate artwork at Harmony Hut.


A combination of our captures plus our minds


Shades of colours representing the various textures at studio. These leather patterns are then turned into meaningful utilities


This Halloween looks more like a grotesque inflatable. Just a messy thing around.


Craps of butter-papers folded on either sides wit variety of dried leaves pressed in-between. A concept well thought and implemented at Harmony Hut



(Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards and Jimi Hendrix). My four icons places contemporary look at Harmony Hut


Eyes right outside the noisy neighbour


This Owl shaped bell is made out of Black stone powder. It is powdered, heated and baked for this exact cause. Quite exemplary.


I found this one right outside my house and in the garden. It is surreal to imagine such a thing exists midst noisy urban and comes with luminous light. 


An ancient brass-ware. The bottom pot and the lid (cover) fits just well. An ancient cooking utensil.


Noisy insect in the form of mosquito and mosquito in the form of an ash-tray.


Certainly not those three monkeys one can imagine. They could be devil in disguise.


This hippopotamus does not look that massively skinned. However, the legs of the unknown compliments just well. I have this in the backyard to add aesthetics to the surrounding. 


Some buds, plants and flowers attracts me. This one is special and quite common but looks unique. Quite contradictory  Is it not?


A friend in need can be a pest indeed as well. This flower comes with such a beauty but thorns all over it. Watering can be quite tricky at times. Albeit this, having them is indeed great!


One of my personal best and valuable possession. This whimpy coin collector is more fascinating than a piggy. Sometimes, we get them for a purpose but use it for something else. It is interesting in a way.



I was made to believe that these masks use different soil, burnt differently in order to retain this shape. I particularly liked this Africo


Beer-jug of the Aladdin days. Just joking! Extensive work with copper, nickel and bronze artwork to make it contemporary.
