Childhood Innocence Painting

Roop, born in Kolkata, India, is a self-taught artist who now lives and works in Jakarta, Indonesia. With over twenty years of experience as a communication and advertising planner, Roop's involvement in art direction deepened his passion for art, ultimately driving him to pursue his artistic journey full-time. Roop has dedicated his creative journey to mastering the art of portraits and seascapes, capturing the essence of realism while occasionally exploring the abstract. His work beautifully balances complexity and simplicity, primarily using oil paints, while also experimenting with acrylics and gouache. His paintings invite viewers to immerse themselves in the human stories that inspire him—tales of love, sorrow, happiness, tenderness, romance, and loneliness. Each piece vibrates with unbidden energy and emotion, drawing the audience into the scene and making them feel a part of the narrative. Roop's work is characterized by rich imagination and inspiration drawn from everyday events and people around him. His art is mostly figurative, blending elements of pop-art, impressions, and expressions, distinguished by refined details, layered colors, and unique compositions that elevate his work to true masterpieces. His realism is of high quality, marked by fine detailing, clear use of color, and surprising choice of subjects. Each piece can take months from sketch to completion, reflecting his dedication and meticulous craftsmanship. Despite his exceptional skill, Roop humbly describes all his works as 'Flawed.' In 2023, Roop fully committed to his art as a full-time professional artist. His artistic spirit thrives, creating captivating works on more modest-sized canvases.
