Shammu Kolam Arts was born not just from an artistic impulse, but from a profound act of love. As a 7th grader, seeing my grandmother unable to perform her daily Kolam ritual after knee surgery, I picked up the rice flour. My hesitant fingers drawing those first crooked lines sparked a lifelong journey. That heartfelt moment, witnessing her smile, ignited a passion to not only preserve this ancient Indian art form but to breathe new life into it. Today, Shammu Kolam Arts is dedicated to blending the timeless elegance of traditional Kolam designs with innovative, contemporary expressions, ensuring this sacred geometry continues to flourish beyond its original context.
What began as an empathetic gesture blossomed into an all-consuming quest to understand, interpret, and innovate within Kolam art. For over 7 years, I've immersed myself in this craft, experimenting with lines, symmetry, and new narratives, pushing the boundaries of what Kolam can be. This journey wasn't without its challenges, competing alongside seasoned artists and finding my unique voice. Yet, every smile and word of encouragement fueled my resolve. My art is a testament to resilience, a tribute to the silent blessings of elders, and a commitment to infusing every handmade Kolam and digital Kolam design with a piece of my soul and the legacy of countless generations.
Shammu Kolam Arts specializes in a diverse range of Kolam solutions, catering to both traditional preferences and modern aesthetics. I offer custom Kolam designs for a variety of special occasions, including traditional Indian weddings, milestone birthdays (60th, 80th, 1st), Ayush Homam, Grahapravesam ceremonies, and festive home celebrations. Beyond floor art, our product range extends to unique Kolam home décor items like intricately designed coasters, elegant frames, practical keychains, and other personalized Kolam gifts. Each piece, whether a bespoke digital print or a handcrafted art piece, is designed to bring the beauty of Kolam into contemporary spaces and daily lives.
My vision for Kolam extends beyond the conventional; I believe this vibrant art deserves to be everywhere – adorning walls, inspiring through wearable art, or serving as a cherished memory. Every creation from Shammu Kolam Arts is a bridge between a rich cultural past and a dynamic future, a tangible representation of love, hope, and dedication. With humility and gratitude, I continue this journey, passionately working to ensure that the captivating beauty and spiritual essence of Kolam reaches every heart and every home, transforming spaces and enriching lives globally.
