I am from Odisha and currently live in Delhi. I have done MFA-Printmaking (2022-2024) from
Delhi College of Arts, and I have done BFA-Printmaking (2018-2022), also from Delhi College
of Art. The subject of my work is "Natural Environment". I mostly work on the landscape of
natural environment. My usual medium is Woodcut. I want to present the beauty, grandeur
and fascination of nature in front of the audience through my artwork. In today's modern
world, rapid urbanization is taking place. As a result, we are drifting away from nature,
forgetting that we are also a part of it. Amidst the hustle and bustle of urbanization and
modern life, we overlook the beauty, grandeur, and captivating views that nature offers.
When I tried to understand nature by becoming a part of it, I was deeply influenced. Now, the
natural environment has become an invaluable part of my life. Through artistic efforts, I want
to deepen my connection with those landscapes that have shaped us as a species and remind
us of our humble place within the grandeur of the natural world.
Through my artwork, I aim to present the beauty, magnificence, and allure of nature to the
audience. I often choose locations that might initially be considered ordinary or mundane but
have the power to inspire awe. The changing seasons and the flow of time hold a particular
fascination for me, and I strive to express these ephemeral aspects, presenting them with a
sense of tranquility and silence. This allows the audience to experience a sense of stillness
and connect with natural beauty. I invite viewers to pause, breathe, and immerse themselves
in the beauty of these landscapes.
Through my artwork, my goal is to remind the audience of the inherent value and fragility of
our natural heritage. By contemplating the landscapes I present, I hope that people will be
inspired to rekindle their own connection with nature and, in doing so, become stewards of
the environment.
