ABOUT SELLER

"I have always been a keen student of Art and interested in different schools of paintings. In 2016, I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and specialized in Painting at Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidayalaya Kharaigarh (Chhattisgarh) University in Calcutta. I adore abstract expressionism, and some of my key inspirations have been from the western school: Clifford Still, Jackson Pollock. From the Indian Art context, I have been heavily inspired by Ram Kumar and, very recently, Akbar Padamse.

I love experimenting with different colours and find textures irresistible. My subject revolves around landscapes and creating landscapes from sight with my interpretation. I believe that one should not force to finish a painting - rather let the painting evolve on it's own and unravel a mystery, which reveals a different perspective to everyone. The greatest rule in painting, I believe, is that 'there are no rules, and we must not get hidebound by principles, instead enjoy the sheer act of painting.'
