Stone Sculpture

The Art of Stone Sculptures

Our appreciation of beauty is a glimpse of the grace which underlies the world the essence of divinity which is in all. Indian stone sculptures appear formal and stylized. They convey a spirit of extreme detachment from the material and sensual world. Their purpose is not to inspire all through size and grandeur. It is to take us to the world of gentleness which can be found within us. Whether these stone sculptures represent a deity or manifest the human form, they are magnificent and approachable to all at the same time. The richness of symbolic meaning in these stone sculptures make these one of the greatest icons of Indian art.

Unveiling the Timeless Beauty

Our stone sculptures transport the devotee or the aesthete through a primordial response to beauty and grace of art. Consider how Shiva clasps Parvati’s hand as they are married. The onlooker relates to the divine through emotions, which are so closely a part of his own life. Or the 6th and 7th centuries stucco figures of the Buddha and bodhisattvas. Their sharp features convey an impression of the dynamic intellect that a worshipper was to awaken within himself or herself. Our stone sculptures expand the space of reverence in our living space and clearly display the sacred nature of the universe.

Our stone sculptures take the Indian philosophy of aesthetics to rarefied heights and see a great flowering of spiritual values. They allow you to leave the material world far behind to enter the sanctified space of divinity and beauty. Our richly carved sandstone sculptures from Rajasthan and Odisha recalls the art of the historical tradition pervaded by a lilting grace and joyousness and consolidate the foundations of a lasting institution. These figures are made in accented postures active and turning in myriad directions. These culminate in the tendency towards the hardening of the facial features, elaboration of jewelry and a greater sense of activity. Every fingernail is profusely sculpted and infused with the breath of life that animates much of Indian sculpture. Our stone sculptures help you search for the peace which can only be found within while celebrating the grandeur of the lord in all aspects of life.

The richness of Rajasthani and Odia stone carvings and ornamentation exhibit a plethora of floral patterns intermingled with innumerable geometric motifs. This creative precision brings a nuance to our exquisitely carved and intricately patterned artworks in spite of the slow but steady intrusion of modern values. This unique bonding of the new with the old is witnessed in our expansive catalogue of objects d’art – enigmas in granite and sandstone that is inculcated with the spirit of the past.
