ABOUT ME

Hailing from Assam & currently based in Kolkata, India, I am an artist and illustrator with a penchant for the fluid and expressive qualities of watercolors. My work is deeply inspired by the impressionist movement, reflecting my affinity for minimalism and realism, all while weaving vibrant and joyful colors into each stroke.

By day, I navigate the world of banking, but by night, I return to my true calling as an artist. I am the creator and curator of "The Watercolor Story," a blog dedicated to the art and technique of watercolor painting.

As a self-taught artist, every piece I create is a journey of discovery and a testament to my passion for the arts.
