KENTSUGI GANESHA by BALOR in Mumbai
KENTSUGI GANESHA
"Hello everyone,
This sketch of the Ganesha idol might look a little broken, but there’s a story behind it.
Recently, I was reading about a beautiful Japanese philosophy called Kintsugi. It teaches that when something breaks, you don’t throw it away. Instead, you fill the cracks with gold — making it even more beautiful than before.
That idea really touched me. Just like objects, our relationships and hearts also get broken sometimes. But instead of giving up or walking away, we can fill those cracks — with love, understanding, and effort — and make the bond stronger than ever.
That’s what inspired this artwork. It’s not about perfection; it’s about healing and finding beauty in imperfection.
Thank you, everyone."

Mumbai, India"Hello everyone!
I’m a Mumbai-based graffiti and tattoo artist. The journey’s been quite something.
To give you a little context — since school, I’ve always loved drawing, sketching, painting… and yeah, Maths too!
I did my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and even worked in the corporate world for a while. But soon, I realized that if I stayed there, I’d lose my artistic side — so I quit.
Later, I learned tattooing at one of the most respected studios in Bandra. During that phase, I discovered my love for graffiti, murals, and other forms of street art. That’s when I started creating with my boys — and together, we’ve done some amazing projects.
Over time, I also developed an interest in videography — because being in the tattoo and mural world, you’ve got to show your art, your vibe, your story. Social media is part of the game now.
There’s no particular inspiration behind all this — the only goal is to keep creating great art, learn from every piece, and never stop growing.
Thank you — and keep creating."
