Aditya is known for his horse sculptures some of which will be showcased in the exhibition. Mukta, who is an art professor at SNDT College, says, &ldquo;I have been planning this series for a while now. I have tried to portray my feelings about nature, birds and female figures through this exhibition. I am inspired by artist Clint Vega and I think as an artist, its your inner persona which comes out on the canvas for people to see.&rdquo; The husband-wife duo share a great rapport even though they work with different themes in seperate studios. As Aditya says, &ldquo;We do share ideas while working but when it comes to portraying something on canvas, we act as totally different individuals as our approach is different. Often we do have chats on the display of our exhibitions as we work together.&rdquo;u00a0 Till February 28, 11 am to 7 pm At Ayatana Art Gallery, Castellino Road, Camp. Call 26344111
