Completed her B.V.A in painting from Indian College of art and Draftsmanship
(Rabindra Bharati University) 2002, Kolkata, Gurkul Parichaya Sikshakram under Rajya
Charukala Prasad (Government of West Bengal) 2004.
She exhibited solo few times and in 2008 participated in a two person exhibition at Academy
of Fine Arts Kolkata. Chaitali was also part of several groups’ shows in Kolkata, Mumbai,
Bangalore, New Delhi, Hyderabad and Egypt. She took part in several workshops in India
and in Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bhutan Egypt and Singapore. Her work has been
extensively exhibited in India and abroad.
Chaitali received several awards of Certificate of Merit, Academy of Fine Arts, 2001, State
Government Charu Kala Utsav 2003, IFAC’S 2009, Art Spaces India (Women Artist) 2017,
Lion International Art contest bronze award 2019, and Indian Royal Academy of Art and
Culture Best entry award 2020.
As a sensitive figurative artist Chaitali fills our senses with undiluted scenes of rural life and
pristine nature. The essence of the strong rustic flavour is captured beautifully through the
intricate work and attention to details. The soft muted earthy shades, the flora and fauna, its rural people, and women in various forms of repose and daily activities create very colourful
and visually pleasing scenes. Both an extensive painter and a sculptor Chaitali has tried to
recreate her gone-by- days working through the nostalgia in her paintings; while her
sculptures are crafted in beauty, force and balance.
