About The Artwork

Padmapani is inspired by a bodhisattva. The name "Padmapani" also translates to "Holder of the Lotus," referring to the bodhisattva's compassionate nature and connection to the lotus, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. The inner side of the ring has a 23.75-carat gold leaf.

Sangeeta Abhay

Contemporary Artist

Sangeeta Abhay’s journey began in Buldana, a quiet town nestled near the ancient Ajanta Caves. Born into a home steeped in art and culture, Sangeeta absorbed beauty as a language long before she learned to speak it. Years later, her path would converge with a calling both personal and profound — the teachings of the Buddha. What began as an inner search soon transformed into an artistic odyssey.

A gold medallist from the Government School of Art, Aurangabad, Sangeeta’s artistic roots were laid in academic excellence and early recognition. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a prestigious university fellowship before stepping into the fast-paced world of advertising, with a 14-year tenure at McCann Erickson in Bangalore.

But something in her always yearned for stillness. A deeper rhythm beyond commercial briefs and city lights. The image of the Buddha lingered quietly, like a distant bell, until it became impossible to ignore.

At the heart of Sangeeta’s work is transformation — not dramatic, but gentle. Like the stillness of dawn or the hush of a prayer. Her central muse is Lord Buddha, but her lens is wide: Earth as witness, the Bodhi Tree as memory, the divine feminine as the sacred ground.

Her signature style blends classical Indian sensibilities with a contemporary clarity: luminous faces, meditative gestures, and richly textured surfaces that hold space for the spiritual. Through sculpture and painting, she draws the viewer inward, towards presence and peace.

Her art has earned accolades from luminaries like the Dalai Lama, Gulzar, Shyam Benegal, and Dr. Pushpa Dravid. Sangeeta Abhay's dedication to her quest continues to offer a timeless glimpse into the mystique of Lord Buddha's world.

Care instructions

Acrylic Paintings:

Store paintings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents for cleaning, as they may damage the paint. Glass framing is not necessary but can provide added protection. Handle with care to avoid scratching or smudging the surface.

Watercolor Paintings:

Avoid direct exposure to sunlight to prevent fading. Frame under glass with UV protection to shield from dust and moisture. Keep away from humid or damp areas to prevent warping. Handle with clean hands or gloves to avoid smudges and stains. Use acid-free materials for mounting and framing to prevent yellowing over time

Oil Paintings:

Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent cracking or fading. Dust regularly with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid hanging in areas with high humidity to prevent mold growth. Store paintings upright or flat in a stable environment to prevent damage from shifting.

Bronze Sculptures:

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid touching the sculpture with bare hands, as oils from the skin can cause discoloration. Keep away from areas with high humidity or moisture to prevent corrosion. Store in a stable environment to prevent accidental damage or tipping over.

Fiberglass Sculptures:

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as they may scratch the surface. Protect from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading. Store in a dry, cool place when not on display to prevent warping or damage.

Serigraphs:

When handling serigraphs, ensure your hands are clean and dry to prevent transferring oils or dirt onto the paper. Store serigraphs flat in a cool, dry, and stable environment to prevent warping or damage. Avoid areas prone to high humidity, temperature fluctuations, or direct sunlight. Frame serigraphs using acid-free materials to prevent yellowing or deterioration over time. Use UV-protective glass or acrylic to shield the artwork from harmful sunlight and dust. Dust the surface of the serigraph gently with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on the paper to prevent smudging or damage to the print. Hang serigraphs away from direct sunlight and sources of heat to prevent fading. Choose a stable and secure location for display to minimize the risk of accidental damage.
