ABOUT SAPTARSHY NANDI

An ode to Kolkata

The artist never felt a connection with drawings and paintings during his childhood. It was because of his father and relatives that he was always surrounded by art. Seeing their love for art, he started experiencing it and later on discovered that art allows him to enjoy life. His new series of painting “My Window” is basically his insight into the world. He used two colors in his paintings blue and yellow to depict ancient architectures and people roaming there. His collection of works is appreciated by people across the globe in exhibitions and camps, thus raising his confidence.
