I AM ARPITA DAS. I LIVE IN KOLKATA (THE CITY OF JOY) INDIA. I GOT A DEGREE IN HISTORY.AFTER COMPLETING MY STUDIES, I DECIDED TO PURSUE MY CHILDHOOD DREAM OF BECOMEING AN “ARTIST”.IN 2017, I STARTED MY JOURNEY WITH MY FIRST GROUP EXHIBITION AT ICCR GALLERY, KOLKATA.
I LIKE TO EXPLORE THROUGH DIFFERENT COLOUR BUT MOSTLY PREFER REALISTIC DRAWINGS ON PAPER WITH SOFT PASTELS, CHARCOAL AND OIL PASTELS RESPECTIVELY. I TRY TO DEVOTE A LOT OF TIME TO MY DRAWING BECAUSE IT HELPS ME GET CLOSER TO MY SUBJECTS. I BELIEVE EVERY FACE IS DIFFERENT WHICH CARRIES DIFFERENT STORIES WITH ITSELF. I TRY TO DRAW THEM IN MY OWN WAY.
IN INDIA WE HAVE MANY SKIN TONES,THAT IS THE MOST FUN PART FOR ME, I LOVE TO EXPLORE DEFFERENT TONES. EVERY TONES HAS ITS PERFECTION AND I BELIEVE ALL THE SCARS, FRICKLES, BLEMISHES, MOLES MAKES EVERY FACE MORE BEAUTIFUL.
THE JOURNEY TOWARDS HYPEREALISM IS UNIQUE ,IF YOU FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA YOU WILL HAVE SEEN I SPEND A BIG AMOUNT OF TIME WITH MY SUBJECTS. AS I SPREAD COLOURS OVER THE PAPER WITH MY FINGER, I FEEL EVERY DETAILS AND TEXTURE OF EACH WORK, WHICH MAKES ME MORE FOCUSED ON MY WORK.I HOPE IT WILL HAVE SIMILAR IMPACT ON THE OBSERVERS AS WELL.
