Abstract geometric metal sculptures
Advmaker (adventurer + maker) is a one-man-shop based in Orem, Utah (USA).
Established in 2020 in the middle of COVID-19 pandemic as a weekend activity in the home garage, it was later moved to a warehouse. Joy likes several forms of adventure activities including motorcycle touring, hang gliding, and paragliding, hence the name.
Joy is a software engineer by profession and has been making things as a hobby for over 2 decades. He ventured into metalworking rather accidentally in 2018 and has been addicted to making metal art ever since. He takes his inspiration from his days in Rabindranath Tagore's Santiniketan where he grew up. The environment of art, culture, and the exposure to various fields outside of formal textbook education in Patha Bhavana made him who he is today. His beloved wife Priti, a fellow ex-student of Santiniketan and an expert in paper origami is the constant source of support for Joy in sewa (service) and creative whims.
He has recently volunteered with a small primary school and a few old homes in West Bengal, India. Currently his goal is to use the profits for various charitable projects in India. The impact from the sale of a single large sculpture is pretty substantial when translated to building infrastructure using local materials and labor.
