Lantern Artwork
The lantern, still glowing in rural homes, symbolises India’s uneven development. Devilal captures its rounded contours and shadowy rhythms with poetic precision, a design rooted deeply in the rural-folk sphere. One hopes he will one day evoke its swinging motion, adding a fuller, human dimension to its form.

Masks, Windows, and Organic Forms
Devilal’s delicate use of colour breathes life into his Masks, Windows, and organic forms—where Kohl lines meet pigment, and clay echoes emotion, each piece exploring the shifting line between the animate and in animate.

Insects
Insects embody nature’s innocence,” says Devilal. “We ignore their quiet presence, yet once transformed into art, they demand our attention—redefining how we see life we once deemed insignificant.

Lantern of Memory
A lantern in Devilal’s art is memory made form—a feeling in transition. As its parts merge into human essence, the object transcends itself, becoming a living truth, shaped as much by emotion as by clay.

Liberation of Form
What sets Devilal apart is not mood alone, but how form and feeling merge. He doesn’t merely create art—he becomes its channel, letting colour or clay evolve freely into beauty with a life of its own.
