ABOUT THE ARTWORK

When ever we think of eternity as a concept, the imagery of the phoenix comes to life. the mythical bird of legends and lore which is born of its own death. when it is about to die, it burns itself up on a pyre which it creates of its own nest and from those ashes rise the new invigorated new phoenix. This mythical bird always symbolized the cycle of destruction and resurrection. An eternal cycle which governs everything in this universe. My artwork depicts this mythical bird in a more human form, as if I am trying to personify the bird and identify my human emotions with it. the artwork is a detailed pen drawing done with waterproof ink on paper which has been treated to a watercolor wash to create color and texture.

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.
