About
“Art is not just an expression; it is a way of life, a journey of emotions, and a tribute to timeless beauty. I have devoted my whole life to making this world beautiful through art.”
— Priyanka Kar, Founder of Tathastu
I am Priyanka Kar, a sculptor from Kolkata, West Bengal, India, and the proud founder of Tathastu. My artistic journey has always been one of passion, exploration, and deep dedication to sculpting.
In 2009, I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Sculpture from Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata, followed by a Master of Visual Arts (MVA) in Sculpture from the prestigious Govt. College of Art and Craft, Kolkata, in 2013. These formative years helped shape my vision and enhance my artistic skills.
My fascination with the cultural and artistic heritage of Kolkata led to my research on “Open Air Sculpture in Kolkata” in 2013. This allowed me to delve into the intricate relationship between public art and urban aesthetics, which continues to inspire my sculptural projects.
Over the years, I have participated in numerous exhibitions, art workshops, and collaborative sculptural projects, earning recognition for my work in both contemporary and traditional sculpture forms.
Founded in 2013, Tathastu emerged as a reflection of my unwavering commitment to artistic excellence and innovation in the field of sculpture. With a vision to create sculptures that not only enhance the environment but also evoke emotion, Tathastu has delivered some of the most remarkable public and private projects blending heritage, craftsmanship, and creativity.
Tathastu has had the honor of executing large-scale public art installations and sculptural beautifications at prestigious locations. Some of our landmark creations include:
Eco Park Sculpture Garden, New Town, Kolkata (HIDCO Project) – An open-air sculptural space that celebrates Bengal’s rich cultural heritage.
Bypass Beautification Project (KMDA) – A striking 17-ft iron sculpture representing Bengal’s dynamic artistry.
Chhau Dance Sculpture Installation – A tribute to West Bengal’s vibrant cultural traditions through bold, large-scale sculptural compositions.
Numerous Public & Private Art Commissions – Creating sculptures in a range of materials, including stone, metal (casting & welding), wood, fiberglass, ceramics, glass, and junk materials across India.
While sculpture remains at the heart of our identity, Tathastu has expanded its artistic expertise into other forms of art, offering a wide range of services:
Customized Paintings – Portraits, abstract works, and realistic compositions created using oil, acrylic, watercolor, and ink.
Murals & Artistic Installations – From intricate glass mosaic murals to relief murals in cement, FRP, wood, and metal, designed for both public and private spaces.
Museum & Exhibition Design – Conceptualizing and executing innovative designs for science museums, heritage galleries, and thematic exhibitions, bringing stories to life through art.
At Tathastu, we believe in the transformative power of art to inspire, preserve, and elevate. Our journey is driven by a profound commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and innovative artistic expressions. With each creation, we strive to push the boundaries of sculptural artistry, ensuring that our work continues to awe, inspire, and stand the test of time.
