Started
drawing at a very young age, the artist received many prizes during
his school days. These
early achievements turned his attention to painting. Self taught
just from the book “Drawing and
painting for young people” written by Mervyn Levy, he gained
so much inspiration from the book
that in a very short period of time he could do oil paintings considered
to be at par with any good
artist of his place.
Inspite of a gap of many years, emerging out of his engagement with
his professional studies and
career, his interest to painting has been as strong as ever before.
In the early part of 2001, the
switching over of many landscape painters to abstract art drew his
attention. To his opinion, he felt
that his style and technique should not be changed but should be
improved. In 2003, after a long
and in-depth review of his style and technique, he decided to improve
his style and technique by
way of realizing/depicting the abstract idea using real objects
in a realistic three dimensional space.
In 2004, he took up the work “Lest we forget the 911 event”
which is based on his improved style
and technique and in 2005 he took up the work “ A mystery
behind the seven huts” which is again
based on this technique. He is continuing to produce artworks based
on this technique. His works
of art caught the attention of many and currently, on the basis
of the recognition as “a prominent art
personality”, he is the member of the prestigious North East
Zone Cultural Centre (NEZCC) a body
under the Ministry of Art and Culture, Government of India.
Last but not the least is the religious/spiritual and mystical and
side of his art.
Religious/spiritual because he still recalls his early childhood
dream of becoming an artist. An
innocent child he was with such a simple faith and a simple prayer
for a talent with a promise
to the Giver to use the talent one day to glorify Him. Hopes and
dreams are his for these
promises not to be broken. The fulfilment may seem a distant dream
but his recent works of art
definitely manifest that he is striving towards that dream. Mystical
because of many factors
such as the influence of the writings of great philosophers like
Immanuel Kant, Sigmund
Freud, Albert Einstein, David Hume and many others, his natural
tendency to mystical and
intellectual life and so on. The religious/spiritual and mystical
side of his art could be seen in
most of his recent works.
