From Kolkata, West bengal, INDIA. Paintings are realisic in nature. Love to paint in all mediums – Acrylic,Oil,Charcoal,Water Colour on Paper or in Canvas. He really wish to draw and paint landscapes in any medium either on paper or on canvas. Again he have a desire to draw and paint different people, their expressions, their lives, their works, merged with beautiful landscapes, Cityscapes. For example, farmers working in the fields in a gloomy rainy day, where the sky is black. The farmers working in the fields will blend and fade out with the monsoon sky in background. This idea of blending the lives of different people with nature scapes or City scapes reoccur again and again in my mind. As an Artist he think that he have a responsibility for the society where he lives. He always wish that he should deliver some message through his paintings to the audience. He is very much interested in cultural concerns in his works. He always try to portray the flavour of my Country to the World through his paintings. Self expression is very important to him. What he think and delivering that exact thinking on the canvas is really challenging. Sometimes it is very difficult and sometimes it comes spontaneously. He do believe that whatever he paints it should be simple and can be widely understood by a large portion of the audience. The painting should be soothing to the eyes.
