I am an artist both by instinct and by training. I belong to the Eastern Indian state of Bengal which is known for its strong artistic traditions. I developed an interest in painting at an early age through rangoli (traditional designs made on the floor and walls in Bengal). I won awards at a number of national and international painting competitions while still at school.

I received formal training in art at Delhi’s College of Art where I was taught by some of India’s leading painters including Manjit Singh Bawa, BimalDasgupta and Bishwanath Mukherjee.
My specialization was in commercial art and for many years I worked as a freelance commercial artist.
I took up oil-on-canvas paintings seriously in 2006. Since then, I have made more than 150 paintings of which more than three-fourths have been sold. The imaginative use of space and colours has been my strong point.

I have held thirteen solo exhibitions and a number of group exhibitions to date. I have attended a number of workshops in and around New Delhi. My paintings have been sold both in India and all over the world including Germany, U.S.A., Bangladesh, Australia and Vietnam. I have a series of seven paintings on display at the International Lincoln Association for the International Lincoln Center, Louisiana State University, Louisiana, U.S.A. and am in the process of adding to the series.
