Silvassa Art

Our shop is No. 5 in the Santi Complex, right across from the Patel Petrol Pump in the Amli area of Silvassa. It’s a straightforward little place where we spend our time on various art projects. Whether it’s frames, paints, or local crafts, we usually have something going on. The complex itself is quite busy, and having the petrol pump right there means there are always cars coming and going. We don’t have a lot of space, so we have to be careful about where we stack things. Sometimes you have to turn sideways just to get to the back of the shop. We’ve been here long enough that we know most of the people who live and work in Amli. It’s a bit of a dusty spot, especially when the wind picks up, so we’re always tidying up the displays. We don't pretend to be some high-end studio; we’re just a local art shop for the people around here. Most days are spent talking to customers about what they want to hang on their walls or fixing up something that got broken. The lighting isn't the best, but we make it work. It’s a quiet life for the most part, punctuated by the sounds of the street outside. We just keep the shop open, handle the orders as they come, and enjoy the creative side of the work. Sometimes things take longer than expected, but we get there in the end.
