Born in 1959, at the city of Kolkata, India, I have lived there all my life and currently work for there only. The two distinct facets of myself:

1) A self-taught painter having held eight solo exhibitions of paintings so far in various metro cities of India, I specialise in the field of Abstract Expressionism.

Fauvists and Abstract Expressionists like Matisse, Kandinsky, Klee, Asger Jorn have always inspired me in a great way to ignite the exuberance and vibration of raw sun-drenched colours, playing and inter-mingling almost on their own with all possible varieties of facets like the compositional elements of lines, forms, overall pictorial structures along with the viscosity and fluidity of the material of the paint itself.

3) Though basically, Silajit’s works are based on nature, they are much more than just a landscape. He attains the peak of abstract expressionism by reducing the real and familiar visuals of nature and reaching to the crescendo of an abstract visualization at such levels, where he does not intend just to express the beauty of nature but worship beauty itself.

4) The particular style of distortion which Silajit has mastered, very clearly makes one realize his concrete confi...
