About Maaniyas Artworks
I am Maanu Shah.
I am a visual artist and structural engineer whose work bridges the worlds of art, science, and nature. Born in India and now based in the United States, my artistic journey reflects a dialogue between cultural heritage and contemporary global influence.
With a professional foundation in structural engineering and construction management, I bring a unique understanding of form, balance, precision, and spatial harmony to my artistic practice. My engineering mindset shapes how I perceive rhythm and structure, while my art transforms disciplined form into expressive, contemporary compositions.
My creative inspiration flows from nature—the rustling of leaves, the shimmer of light on water, and the quiet tension before a storm. These subtle moments become the emotional language of my work. Where engineering seeks stability and precision, my art seeks feeling and expression. Together, they create a practice that is both grounded and poetic.
My refined contemporary pieces resonate with collectors and curators alike, inviting viewers to experience harmony, movement, reflection, and calm. Through my work, I seek to create spaces of connection—where logic and intuition, structure and emotion, coexist in delicate balance.
For me, art and engineering are not separate paths but complementary forces. Both disciplines explore how elements connect, support, and influence one another. My work ultimately reflects a deep respect for nature, design, and the balance that holds everything together.
A truly captivating artistic vision.

Artistic Practice
Artist’s artistic practice is rooted in the exploration of form, balance, and emotional resonance.
Working across acrylics, mixed media, and experimental techniques, she draws inspiration from natural elements, architectural forms, and meditative states.
Her compositions often reflect a quiet dialogue between control and freedom—where precise lines meet fluid movement.
Each piece is an invitation to slow down and engage with visual rhythm and subtle storytelling.
”My work is an exploration of balance—between structure and emotion, intention and intuition.
Influenced by my background in engineering, I approach each composition with an underlying framework, allowing space for spontaneity and expression.
Through layered forms, thoughtful color palettes, and rhythmic movement, I seek to create works that evoke reflection and inner calm.
My practice is guided by the belief that art can serve as a quiet pause in an increasingly fast-paced world.
