Carved cement, in situ

Cement Relief Murals

Relief carved directly into cement mortar on the wall itself. These are not panels fixed on afterwards — they are modelled in place and cure as part of the masonry.

Devotional panels

The Buddha panel sets a blue-robed figure against gilded bamboo on a dark ground — restrained colour used only where it does work, with the rest of the composition left to the modelling.

The Shivling with Nandi relief is the most traditional piece in the group, and the most restrained: near-monochrome bronze, with the ornament on Nandi’s covering providing the only fine detail against otherwise broad, quiet forms.

Composed for the wall

Because cement relief is carved in place, each composition is made for its specific wall — its proportion, its light, and the way people approach it. The Om and Surya panel with radiating horses is built around a stepped architectural surround that a cast panel could never have been fitted to.
