My journey
Life is a river, starts from the hilly area, it flows down on plain, collecting the stones, soils and some dirt, making all to fertilizing others but burden for itself. Sometimes it gets fresh water from rain or by any other small stream, which makes the river strong and powerful. My life is also the same; it started on 17th August 1973. It was not so smooth for me, in my childhood days due to some political and socio economic reasons. On my school days, I had that urge for energy which could make me more empowered, more spontaneous. After few days when some useless particles being already collected in my life and the 'Gati'(speed) was obstructed, I got someone who was just like a fresh stream to my blocked wave and enhanced its speed. He was my Guru (teacher) late. Prof. Gopal Sanyal. With all his guidance and blessings I did eight solo exhibitions, participated in various group shows and camps. I'm very much influenced by the Indian mythological characters specially ‘Krishna and His surroundings’. I'm getting immense pleasure by depicting the different postures of that great character of ‘Mahabharata’, because that particular character is seemed to me a perfect combination of love, passion and intelligence. Thus my journey is going on
