Sumitava Maity

Precisely his work includes choice of employing simple forms in the nature of his paintings.. which is deliberate attempt for extra simplicity… so as to convey a simple and direct message to all – HAVE A CLEAR PERCEPTION.

In his own words: “I devote my life into my art works and new ideas which help to understand the value of natural surroundings, the soft and true relation between two living creatures. I always capture the value of someone’s thought which affects other thought process in positive direction. And also, I try to find the negative space of human activities which are affecting the balance of natural world. I am constantly trying to discover the reason which has led to the increased distance between human and nature. And I think this increased distance is the primary reason for human psychological and mental isolation with nature”.
