Aman Khanna is a New Delhi, India-based artist who creates playful ceramic figurines called Claymen. These figurines are unique thanks to the fact that they capture a wide range of human feelings and emotions in a minimalistic way.
You’ll see Khanna’s Claymen, which come in all sorts of different colors, show excitement, surprise, or love. But whatever emotion they project, they tend to steer away from negativity and instead spread positivity.
“The emotions evoked in us through our actions, reactions, and how we interact with one another has led me to understand how fragile we are, and I find that clay allows me to communicate that,” Khanna shared during a recent chat with Colossal.
Khanna, who is a graphic designer and illustrator by trade, also explained that he came in contact with ceramics by accident. He was taking part in an art conference at Pictoplasma Academy and got an opportunity to create a small clay figurine during one workshop. He liked the experience so much that clay soon became the main medium for his artistic expression.
Khanna now runs a Claymen Studio that includes 15 assistants that help him bring his ideas to life and expand the world of Claymen. You can check out more of their creations if you continue scrolling.
