Adil Writer's Navagraha panels were a true highlight of the Art of India 2023 exhibition, showcasing his unique style and creative vision. The Navagraha panels he created were a tribute to the nine planets and their significance in Indian mythology. His unique approach to blending traditional concepts with contemporary art is a true testament to his creativity and vision.
The panels were adorned with intricate designs that were inspired by the architecture of the temples of south India. Adil Writer gave these designs his own interpretation, creating a perfect blend of ancient and modern styles. The red dots, which were adorned on each of the panels, created a sense of sacred aura that one would experience in a temple. One of the most interesting aspects of Adil Writer's work was the use of burnt wood beneath the panels. This was a deliberate decision, as he wanted to create a visual interplay between negative spaces and positive spaces. The burnt wood added an element of depth and contrast to the panels, creating a mesmerizing effect. His work is a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, paying tribute to the rich heritage of Indian mythology and art.

Writer's creations have been exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions around the world. He is a member of the International Academy of Ceramics in Geneva, a testament to his standing in the field of ceramic art.
