Arpita
Kar

I was born in Agartala, in the North-East of India, and currently lives in Agartala where I am practising art since 2009. Previously I am an art student of Kala Bhavan Santiniketan, Visva Bharati, I have exhibited my work regularly in India since 2007, and in Bangkok ,Dubai,Nepal,Bangladesh.London

“Through my art, I want to show the current problems of our surroundings, nature & societies, such as those created by the transition from joint families to nuclear families, and the spread of urban life over the natural environment, causing the extinction of species day after day.”

“I realize that although we are today very advanced technologically,but we are not able to prevent natural disasters. I think that we should understand and respect nature’s power and maintain natural harmony in our environment.”

I often depicts Buddha in my creations to convey the need for peace and harmony in the midst of the problems I highlights. I uses bright colours which appeal to popular tastes.
