sushil sakhuja: kondagaon, chhattisgarh, India; I, Sushil Sakhuja, a self made artist from bastar, working in Tribal area with tribal people with Traditional arts. But for me “Art is more of Passion than Business”. I have made bronze my medium. Bastar Art is gets its name from the tribal village of Bastaar. Coming from a transport business family, it was not easy to deviate in to this world of art, where financial security was not guaranteed at that stage. For the family it was like leaving home and going to the woods. Many a times, as in life, “seeming mistakes” prove to be breakthroughs. My inspiration came from the tribal and their activities around me whom I made the subject matter. Today, I eat, drink, sit and work with Tribal and Tribal sculptures. I just convey what I see and feel and rest is of course is history. My motivation and subject matter evolve intuitively as I sculpt. The final art comes forth from the realms within which I guess are responses to my myriad surroundings, past, present and future. I prefer to leave a certain element of surprise or mystery, not fill in all the blanks or complete the sculpture, thereby engaging the viewer’s imagination and allowing them to get involved in the process.
