About
Founded by Sangita Jindal and Tarini Jindal Handa, Hampi Art Labs seamlessly blend art, heritage, and nature. The undulating form references the nearby Tungabhadra River, with the built structure emerging from the ground like a mound, mimicking the curves of the natural landscape. There are multiple opportunities to capture interesting forms of the building, with some even overlapping with each other, creating courtyard spaces in between. The colors are all complementary, the iron oxide of the building and the green surroundings, set against a clear blue sky. The textures incorporated into the design not only add dimension but also pay tribute to the locally sourced materials, enhancing the photographs.
