Poulami Banerjee

I come from Kolkata, a metropolitan city in eastern India. Currently I am living in Cambridge, UK. I've been drawing basically since I was able to hold a pencil. My main interests lie in painting, mostly in acrylic and oil based media.
Various forms of visual art attracted me since I was a little child. Even now I delve into the paintings I made when I was a kid, reminiscing those carefree days. Since then, apart from painting, I have been dabbing into the world of sketching, illustration, photography, fashion design and web design.
After completing high school, I got caught up in the rat race and completed a Masters degree in economics. I worked as a web designer in a news company for two years. Then I joined a popular magazine company as a story illustrator.Finally, I decided to focus completely towards painting and pursue my dream.

As you know, the path of pursuing dream is not easy always. There was a time when even my family didn't support my career choice.
This year my artworks were selected in Cambridge Pitt building Exhibition and Cambridge drawing society offered me a membership. The society is the oldest society in UK.

The primary inspiration for my paintings stem from a strong subject matter, matters that move...
