The Eternal Present - Present Alone Is (2023) Sculpture by Meraj Ali Choudhari

Meraj Ali Choudhari is a contemporary sculptor from India. His works are not mere physical representations but intricate narratives that craft stories - Qissa in Arabic, signifies a Story. With each sculpture, Meraj embarks on a noble quest to challenge the limitations of our mortal expressions. His art is an endeavor to immortalize the eternal, breathing life into the formless concepts of goodness, love, and beauty. Simplicity, though not simplification, is at the heart of his creative process. It's the art of the negative, the art of reduction that strips away the superfluous to reveal the innate essence within.

Qissa is a collective effort, a manifestation of diverse hearts, minds, and hands. It's a collaborative masterpiece where artists from different corners of the world, divided by borders but united by art, come together to create symphonies through the meticulous carving of sculptures. It's more than just art; it's an embodiment of storytelling - a singular creation etched in stone and meticulously sculpted to perfection.

In every Qissa, the journey begins with a thought, a spark of inspiration that fuels the creative process. Meraj Ali Choudhari's sculptures are not static objects but dynamic narratives, inviting viewers to delve into the stories they tell, and in doing so, they celebrate the profound and timeless art of storytelling in the form of sculpture. Each of his works serves as a testimony to the power of art to convey stories, emotions, and ideas that transcend words and language, touching the very soul of those who encounter them.
