As Michelangelo said, every block of stone has a statue inside and it’s a sculptor’s task to discover it. Well, I am a person obsessed with the form and shape of things, on an ever-ongoing road to discovery
Having realized his passion for art from an early age Vichar studied the discipline throughout his education receiving his Masters in sculpting from the Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts. Vichar soon began his career as a traditional sculptor, it was during this time Vichar had the privilege to work as a personal sculptor for the King of Mysuru, an undeniable highlight of his career.
