INQ.LAB makes generative art — every piece is composed by code, coloured from historical sources, and printed for your wall.

The name is a small wordplay: ink labs, where I play with colour, and inquilab, the Hindi/Urdu word for revolution. The work sits between the two — quiet, repeatable experiments that each turn into something I couldn’t have drawn by hand.

The palettes come from sources I trust: Sanzo Wada’s 1933 Dictionary of Color Combinations, Werner’s nineteenth-century nomenclature, traditional kalamkari natural dyes, and Mughal and Greek decorative vocabularies. I curate the colour trios by hand, one at a time; the code does the composing.

I grew up in India and live in the UK, and the work drifts between the two homes. Every print is made to order on archival paper, built to last, and ready to frame.

If something here speaks to you, that’s the whole point.
