Prasanta Acharjee

Painter | India

Born in 1973

« Influenced by the colours of Indian terrain & habitat, and by the emotions of Indian existence in contemporary India.. »

In his work there is a quest for the absolute, a higher meaning, in which art is seen as a manifestation of universal laws rather than mere individualistic expression. These highly refined and elegant visual arrangements express certain physical and psychological dualities in a manner which is both magical and alchemic and achieved using a perfect balance of opposing elements: dark and light; masculine and feminine; modern and traditional. They convey a sense of infinity and totality, one in which the visual protagonists convey powerful poetic, spiritual and universal ideas. These works appear serendipitous but are done painstakingly. These paintings are less about conflicts and more about resolutions within the paradigms of abstraction, figuration and colour. Specialties: abstract painting, water colour, Graphic Design. He holds 5 yrs. Diploma in paintings from INDIAN SOCIETY OF ORIENTAL ARTS.
