Mural artist and sculptor Rouble Nagi's latest installation titled, Lovers, has recently been installed here in the capital. It has been carved out of a single piece of marble, and took Rouble more than eight months and weighs approximately five tons.
Rouble explains her sculpture, saying, "I always make my initial designs from clay, create a form and hold it against the sky, this way, I can imagine it in any size and always be in control. While creating any large sculpture I always feel that my audience must think creating something like this is nearly impossible. Sculptures look the best in open air landscape.
My subject is my emotion, and I believe that paintings are more poetic and sculptures more realistic and logical. To evoke emotions in an audience through sculptures is the most difficult thing to do. All my recent projects have been large and required me to work with new medium and all of them weigh over a ton."
Rouble has recently made marble, glass and metal installation for private clients in Delhi, Mumbai and Punjab. She also adds that these days, people are looking at other forms of art, which is a good sign for the artist as he is free to experiment with different mediums. Rouble is now working on an eight ton stainless steel sculpture. It will be ready by December, and is for a client in Abu Dhabi.
