It’s saddening to be living in the days when no matter how brightly the sun shines the world appears to be covered in soot of dismay. The unexpected darts of these dark times are everyday taking away lives, unbiasedly. On July 18, an artist fighting with COVID-19 took his last breath surrendering himself to the ultimate cessation.
A young sculptor, hailing from Telangana, Shivarama Chary sadly is no more amongst us. In tribute to the artist and in admiration of his work a 40-minute documentary, produced by Vaayudhwani Productions, takes us through his journey so far. Dr. Vajranabh Natraaj Maharshi is the creator of this documentary film. He has conceptualised and directed it along with creating its cinematography.
An artist is immortalized by his work. He might not walk with us on this earth but the work of an artist keeps him alive in the memory. The admiration of the work is greater than the admiration of the artist himself. The film gives us a glimpse of how the life of a sculptor is. It gives us a peek into the past of Shivarama Chary that made him stand where he stood. The exciting element of the film is that Shivarama himself has acted his role, so portrayal has only become more realistic for us.
An artist’s inspiration comes from his own life. Admirers of artistic subjects would find the film intriguing in seeing the process of drawing an inspiration into an art piece. Conjecturing the analogy of inspiration and art piece is what forms the relevance of the art piece and lets us connect ourselves to it.
Watch out for the splendid life of an artist who sculpted with modesty his lessons on his sculptures portrayed impactfully in the film.
