It is important to understand the underlying motivations of the unique sculptor, the genius, whose works are exhibited in these photographs. The genuine artist responds to a different voice. He is essentially in tune with the life of forms, the life energy inherent in form. It is true that he functioned appropriately within the concrete society--- the dynastic power structure, the Brahmanical imperatives, and the religious spirit of patrons. However, the genius, producing creative variations, innovations and style transformations, ultimately responded only to internal archetypal imagery and the demands emerging from the physiological structuring processes of the ongoing neural activity in his brain.

The master's primary purpose was to seek escape from phenomenal existence, to satisfy his own internal impulses, for being involved in ekakshara, the sole, imperishable Thing, existing in everything in the universe. Thus his prime efforts were to wrest the image out of its temporality, to elevate the natural from relative to Absolute, even while the imagery does stir the senses provoking strong reactions to the expressed sensuality and energy. Unifying abhorrent fragmentations, the great artist moved farther and farther away from the imperfect natural model with neither the sastric injunctions, nor technical or perceptual knowledge, but energetic form life and intuitive grasp of meaning of the beautiful and the universal functioning as the primary source.
