Tagore, Vivekananda, Rasagolla, the Bankura Horse and Durga Ma all together make for the uniqueness of Bengal. It is distinctly identifiable by its people who are known for being well educated, cultured. They encourage and enjoy the fine arts. The women look especially gorgeous in the quintessential red-bordered cotton saree embellished with delicate Kantha work embroidery. The exquisite Parijat flower is the State Flower of West Bengal. Depicted in a realistic Still-Life painting, a couple of sparrows call your attention to help preserve the essence of Bengal. The purpose is to give the viewers of my paintings a sense of belonging. To rekindle memories associated with these places. To feel at home.
