About Me
Living among the village culture has become a day-to-day activity for me and the love for nature dominates every art from that I am involved with. Not only that, my love for nature also grows with my art.
The resemblance of cow, bull, yogi and sacred trees have become a part of my art inspired by the Indus valley civilization motifs. To go by the quote ,”Change is the only word unchanged; during the course exploration, my heart has grown in a manner wherein I have changed medium from brass metal to incorporate wood, granite and casting metals. In my latest creation I have used strategies like traditional oxidised techniques to create unique sculptures.
Sacred animals in village rituals have always attracted me. These were depicted in my previous sculptures. During village festivals, people get attracted to sculptures like that of vali on the Chariot, Which led me to the idea of creating a surrealist group composition of the angels bulls lifted by Dwarapalakas named, ”Angel Bulls”. These, I feel would be found to be wonderful by people when hung at their homes.
The Mott of my work is to establish a life filled with art, which not only decorates a modern space but also takes one closer of nature. It’s a great privilege for me to make people feel exactly the way I feel when I see my sculpture. To make people appreciate this aspect of nature, the life in it and everything else seen in my creation. It’s the happiest moment for an artist.
The artist providing a feather to a young herdsman and allowing the cow and bulls to surround him gives the feel of Godly Krishna. A great amount of joy is exuded when the herdsman dancing and playing the flute is the visual treat through the cows and bulls in the lily pond. Symbols of fertility in ancient mythology have a history as old as the creation of the first myths themselves. Primarily the myths were about description of the world’s creation. They depicted how the tree, the man, the sun and all the other things came into existence. Today, to validate new discoveries, a return to these mythological roots Is required and reflection on this symbolism leads to contemplation about the moment when the whole life was created.
If we conceive society as a cultural concept in which people’s behavior is representative of the types of relationships they have with each other, then it necessitates evaluating the cultural aspect of each event to investigate its social dimension. There are various definitions of culture. Patricia Marshall on her part defines it as “consistent ways in which people experience, interpret and respond to the world around”. Robert Murphy believed that “culture means the total body of tradition borne by a society and transmitted from generation to generation. It that refers to the norms, values and standards by which people act, and it includes the ways distinctive in each society of ordering the world and rendering it our intelligible.
Culture is a set of mechanisms for survival, but it provides us also with a definition of reality.
It is the matrix into which we are born; it is the anvil upon which our persons and destinies are forged” So in our culture the symbolic representation of some animals and plants gives us a closer connection to God. I try to bring out this connection between nature and God in all my works.
