The colorful and skillful work stands as a symbolism to his doubts and confusion about the changing face of the society that is endangering nature.The hues of nature merging softly with one another to create shadows and shades across the canvas reminds one of the love that Jiban has for his childhood memories, of his village and its scenes. The serene picture created with shades of purple boundary less inviting the onlooker to the atypical and serene village landscape, detailed and mesmerizing. Using the animals as icons to represent the various human instincts and the state of the society he crafts the narratives in hues of bold and sensuous colours.
