Bio
I pursued B.F.A and M.F.A from Kala Bhavan, Visva Bharati, Santiniketan. My specialized area was print making. I have interest in Painting and Sculpture. I acquired advanced Training from Ministry of Culture, Government of India, New Delhi and Merit Scholarship from Visva Bharati and received awards. I attended lots of Graphic and painting workshops in India. I attained number of group shows and also participated in International Exhibitions. My artworks are displayed in public and private collections.
At the outset I would like to confess that “I dream a lot”. I practice “Fantasy” when I don’t dream. My works are like those fleeting dreams, random collage of memories & fantasy which wake you up in a trance. There are no analyses of the nature of dreams, instead an effort to capture the panorama in its full essence & sublimity along with its own sense of mystery. Material memories intriguing in nature enough to fuel either negative or positive dream structure, surface endlessly in my own schema. At present I am really enjoying this process of creating a painting instead of painting.
