tirthankar<br />
biswas<br />
Born 1957 at Naihati in West Bengal, Tirthankar passed first his Diploma in Painting followed<br />
by another in Sculpture from the Government College of <strong>Art</strong> and Crafts, in Kolkata. His job<br />
as designer at the trade fair organization has impacted on his work that encompasses varied<br />
subjects and in a semi-realistic genre. Marked for their movement and force, his compositions<br />
adorn a poetic hazy appearance that comes from his use of diluted ink, pencil, pastel, charcoal,<br />
acrylic and oils. His work has been exhibited in several shows across various Indian metros<br />
and in cities overseas including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Singapore, Mongolia<br />
and London. Recipient of awards from Indian Society of Oriental <strong>Art</strong>, AIFACS Annual and<br />
Sanatan Kalakriti Purashkar, he has participated in several camps and organized workshops.<br />
His works are in collections of Asian American <strong>Art</strong> Center New York, Lalit Kala Akademi New<br />
Delhi, College of <strong>Art</strong> Delhi, AIFACS, High Commission of Singapore, and Mahajati Sadan<br />
Kolkatta as well as with private collectors in France, Japan, Iran, Kuwait, U.K., U.S.A and<br />
Mongolia. The artist lives and works in Delhi.<br />
I am an admirer of Sai Baba’s simplicity, both in his life and preaching. I have<br />
attempted to paint his image to depict faith and devotion in a simple way.<br />
