PURNENDU MANDAL
Indian Contemporary / An Impressionist Artist / Born 1980 / Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, India

Artist Statement :

My paintings explore contemporary life, urban spaces, and human emotions. I work in semi-realistic, abstract, and impressionistic styles, allowing each subject to develop its own visual language.
Cities, streets, and everyday moments inspire me deeply. I am interested in how architecture, movement, and people reflect inner feelings such as solitude, hope, energy, and silence. In recent works, I have also introduced symbolic elements like the sacred bull and abstract interpretations of Banaras Ghat, connecting modern life with spiritual and cultural traditions.
Through expressive colors, textures, and forms, I aim to create artworks that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and form a personal connection with each painting.
