This A3 size charcoal drawing shows the expressive and emotional power of the medium. I focus on creating depth and form through shading and blending, a key skill I teach in my sketching classes.

About My Art & Exhibitions
When you look closely at my paintings, you will notice something specific—I often weave Bengali alphabets directly into the forms, like eyes or traditional motifs. It is not just about the paint on canvas; it is about how I blend my childhood memories and culture into every stroke. Whether I am using charcoal powder with my fingertips or layering acrylics, I am always trying to capture the story behind the subject, not just the image itself.
My art is a conversation. While I am known for speed painting at events, these gallery-ready pieces are where I take my time to explore deeper themes of spirituality, struggle, and human connection.
Where My Work Travels
I believe art transcends borders, which is why I have taken my exhibitions from local setups in Assam to the international stage in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and Bologna, Italy. It is a surreal feeling to discuss the nuances of a canvas with international visitors who speak different languages but connect with the emotions I paint.
The Technique
- Charcoal: My charcoal drawings are about raw emotion. I avoid brushes for textures here; I use my fingertips to blend powder directly onto the paper, allowing for a soft, gradient finish that captures the depth of the subject.
- Acrylics: My acrylic works, like the series featured in the Nava Bharat Times, focus on large-scale storytelling. I often use thick layers and earthy tones to create contrast, ensuring the painting holds its power even from across a room.
Getting Your Own Piece
If you see a style here that resonates with you, I create custom commissions for homes and offices. We can discuss the theme, the medium (charcoal, acrylic, or watercolor), and the scale that fits your space. I do not just want to make a painting; I want to create a piece that starts a conversation in your home.
