“The original idea for my artwork that is titled “A Century Of Revolt” was to do a fresco inspired piece around the Indian independence, I thought of dedicating it to those I admire for the courage and strength to carry on a war for freedom, for over 100 years – the freedom fighters. I wanted to show them floating hand-in-hand in a utopian scene of a free India that they must have dreamt of when they took it upon themselves to fight for it.”, Gaur told Bored Panda.

His work is actually part of a wider project called “Taxi Fabric”, which aims to transform the inside of Mumbai taxi cabs into creative art spaces by a range of talented artists and designers.

42-year-old taxi driver Mohammed Sattar, whose vehicle was chosen for Gaur’s piece said, “The artwork makes me proud. Not just that, it is a symbol to remember all those who gave their lives for our independence. And, I think it is important that their memory is kept alive.”
