A Journey Through Akhtar Ahmed Rasha’s Creative Process

Behind every sculpture created by Akhtar Ahmed Rasha is a deep connection to both nature and literature. But what goes into creating these pieces of art? In this post, we explore Rasha’s creative journey, from initial inspiration to the final product.

Rasha’s background in English Literature informs much of his work. His sculptures often capture the spirit of literary figures and their themes. For instance, Interdependence draws upon the concept of unity and support, as told through the story of two friends – one blind and the other lame.

Rasha’s process begins with sourcing raw materials like driftwood and bark. Each piece of wood carries its own story and character, and Rasha’s challenge is to mold and shape it into something new while preserving its natural beauty. His creative process involves using tools to sculpt, mix sawdust with glue, and sometimes add cement to give his figures more stability.

Rasha’s journey is a fusion of nature, literature, and passion. At Open Palette, we’re proud to showcase his remarkable works and share his creative process with art lovers around the world.
