About Michal Aram: Michael Aram is an internationally renowned designer who has lived and worked
in India since 1989. Trained
as a painter, sculptor and art historian, Aram has neatly applied his
diverse background to the
decorative arts. Lyrical and often witty, his work encompasses a wide range of media and reveals a rich and variant source of inspiration - nature, mythology, narrative storytelling and purified form. Aram's work is also a celebration of craft and age-old handworking traditions. It is the enduring
fusion of these ideals - originality,
storyline and craftsmanship, that has become the hallmark of this gifted artist.
