Artist Profile

Debjani

Date of Birth : Nov-1964

Shadow and light, somberness and joy, conflict and peace, my canvases are an extension of my being; A conversation between the world and I."

"Experiences of my life, freedom and nature are the essence of my expressions in my paintings. I love the play of colors in my figurative forms, nature and the surroundings. Most of my feminine forms are in white symbolizing the purity and essence of life amongst the colorful surroundings".

Debjani’s has been able to define herself not only as an artist but also as a social worker and a teacher. Her social work has kept her involved with issues of rural women and children. This experience has found it’s way in her form of expressions. Her paintings depict rural women in their natural forms and emotions.

"Her portrayals of woman as spiritual beings are imbubed with vibrancy, bringing energy and feelin to both ordinary domestic activities and simplest portraiture." - Paula Laniado(artist New York,USA).

"The fusion of abstraction and realism are skillfully expressed, particularly in Moods and Sleeping Beautuies, each painting is an expression of a unique way of perceiving the world,reonating with the passion for the medium, intellectual curiosity and for the process that unfolds....wonderful works."
