As we have already informed you, “Hakob Gyurjinyan” International Sculpture Symposium was held in Shushi, Artsakh. For the fifth time, Shushi has been hosting sculptors from different countries around the world. This year’s symposium brought together sculptors from India, Egypt, Serbia, Poland, Armenia, and Artsakh. And the sculptures created as a result of the symposium are donated to the city, and that donations are housed in Shushi Sculpture Park.
One of the participants of the symposium is Indian sculptor Chander Parkash, his sculpture is called “The Broken Oath”.
In the interview with Aravot.am Chander Parkash told that he accepted the offer to participate in symposium because he considers Museum of Fine Arts a good museum and his sculpture is going to be part of a very good collection: “Before the offer, I didn’t know about the situation. So when I have heard the news about the conflict with Azerbaijan, an idea came to my mind, so I have tried to make a landscape with your border, this broken part is the broken oath: somebody has promised and they have broken the promise. But you can’t leave the people, you still have some feeling inside, so these flowers are coming from inside”.
According to Chander Parkash, we must understand this problem and try to search in conflicts of different countries: “I have tried to give a message through my sculpture because I have only this way to voice my thoughts – this is my actual language which people can understand. I am sure that after ten years this sculpture will give you something, it will act very slowly like music. When you listen to music, you don’t understand immediately, but slowly-slowly you understand, you feel rich, you feel better”.
