Painting
is my first love. No other thing on this earth can satisfy my passion
as much as it can. So, only with a view to being intimately associated
with this world throughout my life, I decided on art as a career
choice.
Beginning
of my journey in the art world dates back to when I was only ten.
Then, after completing my academic course in school, I took admission
in the Govt. Art College, Calcutta. Thereafter, I joined the Lalit
Kala Academy, Kolkata where I have been doing research, for the
last 20 years, on this subject as a working artist.
I
grew up in the lap of nature. It is this nature that is integral
to my life. Since my childhood days, I find myself closely identified
with the broadness of Nature which appears to me as an embodiment
of beauty and tolerance. My attachment with the Nature is so deep
that it runs, quite naturally, through my works as a leitmotif..
Oil
is my most favorite medium. My paintings are generally done on canvas
in oils by Spatula, which is used to thicken the layer of colour,
is also an important tool for me .I have a predilection for ‘Relief’,
which demands thick layers and textures. I feel Nature can best
be presented in such ‘Relief’.
My
works on the theme of ‘Nature’ with having the application
of the ‘IMPESTO’ technique have received rave reviews
so far from different corners of our country. Some of them also
fetched me a good monetary returns.
