A Masters in Fine Arts from the University of Baroda, Ivy Mandal, born in 1988, the third prize winner, has to her credit a host of awards and scholarships.  Childhood influences, deep desires, dreams and pain have all added up to her visual vocabulary. Her work is a true reflection of her personal experiences, unfulfilled dreams and desires from day-to-day life. She fulfills those desires through practical work.

Presently, she is working on these in three-dimensional forms. She uses different materials such as wood-stick, marble, gold, liquid, resin, fibre, paper-pulp etc.
