Michelangelo…….I would not be the 1st person to speak about him. Nor I have any intention to become a lecturer about this virtuoso. But whenever I see his drawings, it begins a spark in me to thrive myself to reach where I want to reach. Perhaps thats the power of art. The way I listen to music and adept my senses to that aura. Same way his drawings make me to draw and sculpt more and more, limitless.

The way he created Sistine Chapel single handedly, although he was granted to have some help from other artists, but he prefered to work alone, just only to think about his human anatomies and Godly creations. He almost drew 300 figures on it, and scale is surely breathtaking. I cant imagine how much he have drawn from his childhood to reach to that point…..maybe 10000 pages, lakhs or crores…..I wont wonder. And the best part was his intentions to paint it. He never thought himself to be a fresco artist and despised this idea initially to paint the Sistine. But being a victim of his integrity, he surrendered and worked even it took him 4 years to paint. 

There is a lot to tell about his magnificent creations, Moses, David and Pieta but the words here would be numberless and infinite to speak about. I love his Pieta. So much that maybe if i see it in real, up close, probably my eyes will get wet in appreciation. I ve no idea of how others will feel like……but being an artist and a digital sculptore I really have a respectable feelings. More than that. I just cant imagine how precise are the folds and the emotions of the holy dead and holy mourner. All the action was from Mother, the grief, agony, torment of losing a son, while the son was shown totally calm and peaceful as dead. And indeed the muscles and anatomy, that wasnt thing in the sculptor’s mind at all. It was coming as a native person speaks his language, without thinking. I can just keep on going for that masterpiece, but my time says to try creating one.

I was also got tempted to spend a fortune on a replica of pieta somewhere in a mall. It wasnt as close as this masterpiece, nor can anything, but still, to dry my tears it would ve been worked well enough…….No….I dont think so. A Real masterpiece is the Real.

I ve a lot to speak about him, a lot more to read about him and much to share, maybe in later blogs, if time allows me to do so.
