Dr. Manas Roy (Roymans), Dutch artist of Indian Origin, born 1954, Kolkata, India

A fusion art does not mean dropping some Western oil into Eastern Water. It is like syrup where both sugar and water is present but not standing out from one another. On the top, the syrup itself becomes a third entity. That is true global art where we see smooth fusion of cultures without contradiction.
