An Indian Artist

Artist's Statement 

Intrigued by the thought how the flow of Time mows down both powerful and the weak of once flourishing but now dissolved empires, hamlets, I am set on the mission of recapturing those furrows carved by times on artworks, buried in ruins; allowing me to revisit those eras bygone, by a measure of the withered art, battered sculptures inviting all to relive the pain they endured. I wish time froze only to save these unsung pieces of expression, chose not to vandalize them by unleashing the brute forces of weather and dogmas. I chose ceramic as the medium for its ability to store those wounds inflicted on artworks of yore, chiselled forever.
