| The Sculptor incidentally happens to be a Sailor! The long sailings and the harsh sea conditions makes a Sailor long for his loved ones! He sees a woman in almost any thing! Even fishes appear to him as beautiful women! The nearest to a woman in the middle of the high seas is automatically the half-woman-half-fish, MERMAID ! In olden days Dugongs were thought to be real Mermaids by the Sailors ! |

| These are sculpted on Ordinary Blackboard Chalks. The photographs show highly magnified images of Chalk Sculpture which are only about 1~3 inches long ! You are viewing all original works of Art ! None of them are Copies. Many of the Sculpture shown here are in private collections. The Artist and Sculptor has decided not to sell any more of his Chalk Sculpture and wishes to set up a permanent Gallery of his works at Kolkata ... some day ! Since Chalk is very brittle, the Chalk Sculpture have been hardened for preservation and long life. There are Chalk Sculpture over 35 - 40 years old and in very good condition. It takes about seven to eight hours to finish one figure or portrait on a single piece of Ordinary Black board Chalk ! The tools used are a Sewing Needle and a Shaving Blade ! |
