Krishnal employs architectural structures, stacking the paper in the manner in which a structure is built. He establishes a connection between a structure’s internal and external aspects. The mystery underlying the structural parts – basic linear frames – that progressively result in intricate building creates a sense of intrigue. His method is similar to how frescos are created, when each layer is meticulously placed and refined over time. He constructs his own narrative using a variety of themes and incongruous areas.

Krishnal Fulwala lives and works in Surat, Gujarat, India
