You will be amazed when you look at this picture. Imagine carving intricate details of a foot-thick granite. Unless you have a crystal clear image of what you are going to carve, working on this kind of art is impossible.
Zoom your vision from outside in. At the first turn of your imaginary lens, you focus on the peripheral design; that is on the square block. Intricate patterns reminding you of the entrance to a temple. from these patterns, you cross seven steps as it were, of artwork to hit the inner block. dots, curves, squares and stars form the artwork.
Ancient symbols indicating arcane powers of consciousness? Only the master-sculptor should know!
Whether it is a plain pattern from a banana flower or it is a pattern emerging from the sub-conscious mind speaking about the way the inner consciousness opens up, the work on stone: indeed a very kaleidoscopic pattern in stone. Mind-blowing!
It is a masterpiece of concept and workmanship.
Where are the artists of stone today?
Cement and mortar seem to have destroyed ancient art.
This is simply amazing and breathtaking! Thank you for sharing the picture. We had great artists during those days who created great pictures through stone and wood! These artists are in their own world and do not work for money! Infact I happened to meet an artist who did a beautiful carving in one of the doors of my in-law's house. It was a beautiful work...but after completing it the guy did not accept any money and thanked my father-in-law for giving the opportunity to exhibit his talent and went away!! Those days are gone now!
