Engaging in a poignant dialogue with the Angel, the painting mirrors a cinematic scene, brought to life with the strokes of watercolour on paper.
Title: Deer in the Forest
In the artwork The Deer in the Forest, a quiet scene unfolds, captured in delicate hues. Soft sunlight filters through the forest canopy, weaving golden threads of warmth across the earth. The trees stand tall, their shadows stretching as the sun rises, casting a serene glow over the wild expanse. In this sacred moment, a deer appears, its presence fleeting yet profound. With curiosity and a hint of timidity, it pauses before retreating into the wilderness. This rare encounter conveys a deep, primal connection, reminding us that life’s beauty and mystery transcend words.
Title: Own Little Boat
In the poetic work 'Own Little Boat,' a lone figure bows a boat amidst mountainous serenity, navigating the tranquil embrace of a lake. Inspired by the verses of Rabindranath Tagore, this watercolour creation weaves a visual symphony echoing the introspective solitude celebrated in the melody of life. The ethereal blend of colours on paper captures the essence of one's personal voyage, inviting viewers to embark on a soulful journey across the tranquil waters of self-discovery.
Title: In the Land of Red-Soil
In the artwork, 'In the Land of Red-Soil,' a sun bids adieu, casting a warm glow on a tribal woman's journey home with gathered woodstock. Set against the backdrop of the red-soil terrain in the western realms of Bengal, the work breathes life into a forest of towering, weathered trees. Inhabited by indigenous souls, this watercolour creation transports viewers to a realm where every stroke whispers tales of ancient earth, tribal whispers, and the mystical allure of a sunset homecoming.
Title: The Hampi Temple
Amid the ancient stones of Hampi, a temple stands like a whispered memory of time. Gentle water meanders, reflecting the soft glow of the sky, where the sun sets, casting a golden veil across the land. Mountains cradle the horizon in silence, as the temple's silhouette emerges, tranquil and eternal. In this serene landscape, the sacred and the natural intertwine, inviting the viewer to pause, breathe, and witness a moment where time feels infinite.

Delicately rendered in watercolour on paper, the scene invites viewers to embark on a visual sojourn, where the ethereal dance of lotus petals and the serene tableau of a girl's whimsical pursuit coalesce in a harmonious celebration of nature's poetic allure.
Title: Field of Red Poppy
In Field of Red Poppy, the artist captures a fleeting moment of serene beauty. Lying amidst a sea of sienna-hued fields, the eye is drawn to delicate red poppies swaying gently in the breeze. As the sun sets, a soft, golden light bathes the scene, transforming the world into a quiet tapestry of muted hues. The light grows warmer, tones shift, and the air is filled with a peaceful calm. This watercolour painting evokes a sense of stillness, inviting the viewer to pause and experience nature’s tranquil embrace in its most fleeting and delicate form.
Title: In the Name of Love
In ‘In the Name of Love’, the artist explores the paradox of affection tainted by violence. A human skull, representing a soul already wounded, becomes the canvas for a stark, unsettling narrative. A blood-soaked kiss, a symbol of love, rests on the forehead, yet its connection to a bullet speaks to a harsh irony—how love, in its misguided forms, can wound further rather than heal. The image suggests that in the name of love, one may continue to harm the already broken, reinforcing the cruelty that often hides beneath well-intentioned actions. The painting challenges the viewer to reflect on love’s complexities and its darker, destructive potential.
Title: The Old Earth
In ‘The Old Earth’, the artist captures the ageing beauty of our planet. Through watercolour and ink, the Earth is depicted as a weary, timeworn entity, its landscapes fading and worn from the endless cycles of existence. The muted colours convey exhaustion, as if the Earth, after carrying life for aeons, is growing old and tired. This painting reminds us that even the most resilient creations—like the planet itself—are not immune to the passage of time, urging us to reflect on the fragility of the world we inhabit.
Title: The Thornless Rose
‘The Thornless Rose’ imagines a love untouched by hardship. With soft pink and white petals, the rose blooms effortlessly, its stem smooth and free from thorns. It portrays a vision of love where pain and suffering do not exist, a fleeting thought of what love could be if unburdened by sorrow. As an artist, I offer this gentle, utopian love—one that exists purely in this painting, a quiet dream of affection without the weight of trials. A love that is delicate, serene, and free from the sharp edges of life’s complexities, existing simply in its purest form.
Title: Jesus Christ
In this unique portrayal of Jesus Christ, the conventional takes a transformative turn. The sacred bust, depicted in an array of tangled lines, stands against a backdrop adorned with intricate geometrical shapes. An artistic endeavour to transcend the ordinary, this watercolour creation reimagines Christ in a distinctive style, inviting viewers to witness divinity through the lens of unconventional artistry.
Title: Shiva
In the painting ‘Shiva’, the cosmic dance comes alive as the four-armed figure of lord Shiva moves through the universe. His hair flows wildly, intertwining with the swirling cosmic backdrop, while the divine Ganges cascades from it, symbolising eternal purity. In two hands, he holds the damaru, the rhythmic drum that resonates with creation’s heartbeat. Another hand grasps the trishula, his trident, representing destruction, and the fourth holds a sleigh, a symbol of his dominion over time. His posture, both powerful and graceful, embodies the balance between creation, preservation, and dissolution. This watercolour piece vibrates with cosmic rhythm, capturing the infinite forces of the universe in a moment of fluid motion.
Title: The Copy of Leonardo da Vinci's Self-Portrait
In the painting, "The Copy of Leonardo da Vinci's Self-Portrait", the artist, after seeing many artworks by the master Leonardo da Vinci in Italy, was deeply inspired. Out of sheer respect and admiration, she humbly sought to create a small replica of his self-portrait. With profound reverence for da Vinci’s genius, the artist reinterprets the original through the delicate flow of watercolour.
Title: Copy of the La Scapigliata
The ‘Copy of the La Scapigliata’ is a humble endeavour, inspired by the unfinished yet captivating beauty of Leonardo da Vinci's ‘La Scapigliata’ often known as The Head of a Woman. The serene purity of the face draws the viewer in, offering a quiet grace that transcends its incomplete form. In this piece, the artist sought to honour da Vinci's masterpiece, reflecting its delicate elegance.
Title: Wild Flower
"Wild Flower" captures the quiet elegance of a solitary blue bloom, found unexpectedly at the edge of a Tuscan village road. Its simplicity, untouched by time, radiates a serene beauty that effortlessly draws the eye. This roadside blossom, though unassuming, holds a captivating stillness—its presence lingering in the mind like a fleeting memory. The piece reflects a moment of pause, an appreciation for the unnoticed details of the world that are often the most profound.
Title: Shri Krishna
In the painting Shri Krishna, Lord Krishna stands gracefully in the Tribhanga Murari pose, holding a flute to his lips. His divine presence is surrounded by an ethereal background of leaves, their soft, illusionary forms blending with the scene. As he plays, the leaves seem to sway in harmony with the music, creating a serene atmosphere. The delicate brushwork and gentle hues evoke a sense of tranquillity, where nature and divinity come together. This watercolour captures the fleeting beauty of the moment, inviting the viewer to experience the peaceful rhythm of Krishna’s flute.
Title: Unsent letters
This watercolour piece, ‘Unsent Letters’, captures the haunting weight of untold words. Torn postcards are piled together, taking the form of a limbless human figure, embodying the unsent messages we carry within ourselves. These silent confessions, unspoken feelings, and unsaid thoughts slowly shape our identity, like fragments of unfinished conversations. Without limbs, this figure symbolises the paralysis that comes from holding everything inside, unable to act or express. With only wide, searching eyes, it observes the world, bound by the letters never sent, the words forever unspoken.
Title: In The Day of Yellow Light
‘In The Day of Yellow Light’, a lone figure sits quietly, gazing at the serene mountains next to a small house. Bathed in warm yellow tones, the painting portrays a world where time slows, and solitude becomes a gentle companion. The golden light wraps the scene in a reflective calm, where melancholy mingles with a sense of ease. Life, in this stillness, moves like a soft melody, echoing the slow and unhurried rhythm of existence. The day unfolds in hues of quiet contemplation, embodying the tranquil beauty of a life lived in peaceful pause.
Title: Way to the Heaven
‘Way to the Heaven’ offers a provocative reflection on life's attachments. A zigzagging road leads upward, with a zip car carrying stacked luggage, symbolizing the burdens we carry. The car, moving toward a distant heaven, represents our belief that material possessions and achievements follow us beyond death. Yet, the irony lies in the subtle suggestion that we cannot take these things with us. Through surreal and sarcastic tones, the painting challenges the notion that life's journey is about accumulation, urging us to reconsider what truly matters in the end. The path to heaven, it seems, is not about what we carry, but how we live.
Title:Broken Rose
In the evocative 'Broken Rose,' emotions cascade through shattered petals, a metaphorical reflection of a wounded heart. The delicate fusion of watercolour, pencil colour, and ink on paper unveils an imaginative realm where roses, fragile as glass, succumb to the impact of emotional turbulence, creating a poignant visual symphony of vulnerability and resilience.
Title: Portrait of Rituporno Ghosh
In this tribute work, the watercolour portrait of the late Film-Director Rituparno Ghosh emerges as a testament to his versatile genius in Indian cinema. Capturing the essence of a luminary figure, the delicate strokes on paper illuminate the spirit of a storyteller who left an indelible mark on film history.
Title: Infinity
Infinity explores the boundless flow of existence through intertwining lines in shades of purple and violet. These fluid strokes symbolise an endless journey, where colours merge and fade, capturing the ceaseless motion of time. The abstract composition reflects the infinite nature of life, inviting viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of all things. Each tangled line suggests both unity and separation, offering a tangible sense of infinity. In this watercolour piece, the concept of boundlessness is brought to life through delicate, ever-evolving patterns that echo the perpetual cycle of existence.
Title: Death and Rose
Death and Rose portrays the delicate intersection of love and mortality. A skull, symbolising death, clasps a red rose in its mouth, reminiscent of a lover's tender embrace, yet the rose's thorns pierce the skull, drawing blood. This bleeding from the corner of the mouth evokes the inherent pain within love's embrace. The intertwined imagery of life and death suggests that love, in its purest form, exists within the fragile balance between these two forces. In this piece, passion and sorrow coexist, reflecting the painful yet profound truth that love and death are inextricably linked.
Title: Howrah Bridge
Behold the enchanting allure of 'Howrah Bridge,' a watercolour work capturing the essence of Kolkata's vibrant soul. A lone boatman gracefully navigates the Ganga River's embrace, escorting companions under the iconic bridge's watchful arch. Beyond, the distant suburbs weave into the greater tapestry of Kolkata, echoing the city's heartbeat. This poignant portrayal, crafted on paper with the fluid strokes of watercolour, immortalises the timeless charm and communal spirit that defines the City of Joy.
