Sanju Jain’s latest series, In the Lap of Nature, is an artistic homage to the purity and resilience of the natural world. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship yet expressed through a contemporary lens, this body of work reflects her deep connection to organic materials and age-old techniques.

Drawing inspiration from her childhood in Aari, Madhya Pradesh, Jain incorporates a distinctive process influenced by the rural craft of paper pulp basket-making. She applies layers of clay and natural binders, such as Babool tree glue, onto canvas, allowing them to dry into richly textured surfaces. Infused with pigments derived from nature, her compositions evoke the shifting hues of sunrises, sunsets, flowing water, and verdant landscapes.
