The artist captures the vibrant beauty of both desert and coastal landscapes, blending earthy reds, deep blues, and intricate patterns distinctive to their cultural heritage. The themes and composition invite viewers into the artist’s world, offering a glimpse of the rich, intertwined histories and the enduring connection to land and spirit that define the Bidyadanga community.

Biography:

I have been painting since I was born and my paintings were deadly since I was four years old. I had good attention to detail at 7 and 8 when painting dragons and that’s when I realised I could paint and was good with colour. I started painting with the old people in 1997.
