Dr. Rambali Prajapati @rambali.prajapati , a recipient of the National Award, the President’s Award, and the Senior Fellowship Award from the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, was born into a modest potter family in the Mau district of Uttar Pradesh. His childhood was devoted to crafting idols and toys of gods and goddesses, a tradition deeply rooted in his family heritage. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in painting from Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth, Varanasi, and subsequently obtained a PhD in “Art and Art Market” from Chaudhary Charan Singh University. He has created a series of acclaimed paintings on themes such as Music, Human and Nature, and Udaan(‘Flight’). He has also produced popular sculptures on themes like books, schools, and “Life of Stairs.” For the past two years, he has been actively creating sculptures using mineral stones while residing at Kaladham in Greater Noida (Delhi NCR).

With a formal education in painting and a family heritage in clay toy and idol making, the artist’s journey has evolved into a passion for sculpture. After earning a doctorate in painting, his focus shifted to sculpting with semi-precious stones, including Jasper, Labradorite, and Amethyst. Over the past two years, they have collected over 200 mineral stones and developed innovative carving techniques. Their work now includes large-scale sculptures and installations that combine semi-precious stones, wood, and bronze, celebrating the natural beauty and vibrant colors of these materials.

This collection reflects intricate craftsmanship and artistic dedication. Altogether, we produced around one hundred and twenty unique pieces, each highlighting the natural beauty and spiritual essence of the stones through detailed carving and thoughtful design.

Its smooth, rounded contours convey serenity, while the challenging medium highlights exceptional craftsmanship and refined artistic control.
