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.
