Aniruddha De

Aniruddha De is a contemporary surrealist painter based in Mumbai, India, specializing in grand-scale, fine-art oil paintings. His work seamlessly bridges classical chiaroscuro techniques with modern pop surrealism and psychological magical realism. Through meticulously layered, richly textured compositions on large-format canvas, Aniruddha explores deep themes of identity, mythology, inner conflict, and human allegory.Moving away from flat digital aesthetics, his paintings celebrate the physical, tactile luxury of traditional oils, utilizing complex color glazing and dynamic chiaroscuro lighting to create three-dimensional dramatic weight. Having successfully exhibited and sold his original paintings to collectors in Kolkata, he continues to evolve a distinctive visual language rooted in profound emotion, tight composition, and dreamlike realism.
