College of Art Kolkata and Post Diploma in Graphics (Print – Making ) Kala
–Bhavana, Visva- Bharti,Santiniketan. He worked at Graphics Department, Kala
Bhavana, and Santiniketan on a scholarship from Human Resources &
Cultural Ministry of India.
He has participated in several group and solo shows in India and abroad in Sydney,
and Japan. The artist has been awarded by Government of Art College, Kolkata; and
by Lalit Kala Academy, Chandigarh for best painting amongst others.
The artist draws his inspiration from the corridors of childhood and its innocent years.
The follies and frolics of childhood often creative change into the hard realities of life.
Yet its these innocence, enthusiasm and imagination that entice the artist which he
visually narrates through simple lines, and tonal variation kept minimal to create the
desired effect of black and white. Exploring the dimensions of fantasy blended to
verbalize the reality that is far removed from childhood innocence mirroring the harsh
reality called life, politics, and human nature.
