HER  INNER  VISION ( AN INSIGHT OF MY PAINTINGS ) :

I do have a faith in phenomenal nature as the ultimate source of forms and configurations. I infact, selectively recollect the memory of observed contents as ordered configuration of colour- masses with shapes defined by contour lines on two dimentional pictorial surface, divided up into flat colour areas. These shapes and spaces are residue of images of phenomenal terrains, sky, land, roads, plants and juxtaposes do not have any reference of the natural phenomenon. On the contrary, they tend to be expressive, similarly, the contour lines with which I enclose the shapely colour masses, endow the shapes with strange kind of organic rhythm, making my art spaces look as if they are expressionistic. My paintings are at a junction between representationalism, formalism and expressionism.

The suggestive colours, common symbols upheld by lucid plastic rhythms and inventive shapes develop in my own style with definite ease. The insistent flowing, vegetative rhythms of semi-abstract and abstract compositions are imbued with my feeling for measure and impeccable sense of visual syntax.

VIEWS OF MY LIFE :

I love nature. I like to feel its ever-whelming beauty, truth and power.

The undercurrent of calm, delicate, firm and honest qualities of nature reflects in my search of art works. My thoughtful imaginary word inclined to the reality of human life. I am always open minded to develop my ideas philosophically from the daily lives of the common people. I am grateful to many of them, are accompanied with me for helping in my several domestic and other activities of my daily life, so that I could be able to concentrate and devote myself in my creative artwork.

I believe that every human life in love and wishes to love each another. Nobody knows the ending moment of life. This is the basic truth of human life that is what I used to inculcate in my art aesthetically.

SWATI ROY ........ A SUCCESSFUL ARTIST :

There are artists who still believe in fundamental concept, skill applications, themes which must be rooted in soil. Swati Roy, a luminary of Govt. College of Art & Craft, Calcutta, India are deeply involve with experiments as a contemporary creative artist. She is continuing her work since 1970's. Her paintings have a magical sensibility, essence of both western and Indian art. Her perfection, themes, non-figurative abstract compositions are really unusual. She has created her typical style of painting which is very much of her own.

Her work is in the genre of classic modernism and expressionism. Her paintings are boldly pictorial of her deepest thoughts. As she says, "I paint what moves me, the paintings have developed with my thoughts, nature is my inspiration".
