ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Indian mythology has played with gender in many ways. Amba is such a character from the epic Mahabharata, whose gender goes through transformation from female to male. She is like the two spirits of American Indian tribes. In this small portrait, I have explored gender ambiguity by mixing up characteristics attributed to both the masculine and feminine in one person. This portrait reflects the desires of a person who has crossed the borders of gender norms and performance. A man and a woman in one, or neither! NOTE: Custom duty fee if any is payable by the buyer. Different Countries have different rules and regulations for packages being shipped in and the Custom duty fee varies as well. Such fees are not included in the shipping cost.

After graduating as a Bachelor in Fine Arts, I have worked as a graphic designer for 6 years in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi. I resumed creating independent artworks in the varied mediums of painting, digital graphics and art installations after moving back to Kolkata in the year 2008. My chosen medium is watercolor and pen drawing on paper. My art works are an exercise in exploration of the self, as a creature of nature; an evolution through understanding of my physical, sensual and spiritual needs. They are expressions of personal confusions, visions, emotions and realizations. On one hand they are projections of my thoughts on worldly matters, which often baffle and trouble me, on the other they are personifications of my lunacies, fantasies, magical dreams, wicked thoughts and mischievous self expressions. Through their untamed and fantastic imagery, they are intimately mine and ultimately me.
