Meet The Artist Behind The Masterpiece

Ashish Mehta

My name is Ashish Mehta and I was born in 1975 in the beautiful city of Jaipur, known as the ‘Pink City of India. I lost my father when I was 12 years old. My mother worked hard and struggled so that my siblings and I could have a good future. I am very proud of her. I became interested in carving when I was a child and wondered how a wooden elephant was made. My curiosity to learn attracted me to arts and crafts. At first, I tried to learn on my own but I wasn’t able to. I decided to learn from different people, who are masters in wood carving. I worked hard to learn this craft. It is very challenging to carve fine details on wood, but I love being able to shape wood into different figures.
