ABOUT ME

I was born in Kolkata, a city where every corner breathes art and history, and from my earliest memories, I’ve been drawn to express the world through bold strokes and vibrant hues. My journey began in childhood, enchanted by the timeless beauty of the European Renaissance, later evolving under the influence of Indian masters and the powerful vocabularies of Cubism and Expressionism. Through acrylics, oils, charcoal, and mixed media, I discovered a language of emotion that speaks louder than words. Every canvas is a reflection of my soul—a cry, a celebration, a moment of change. From Mumbai to Paris, Times Square to Amsterdam, I carry with me the fire of creation and a humble hope: that my art, rooted in passion and purpose, might inspire, heal, and connect.

 

ARTISTIC PROCESS

My artistic process is a visceral journey where theme meets abstraction, and emotion finds form in texture and tone. I draw deeply from the raw pulse of human beliefs, societal struggles, and environmental wounds—translating them onto canvas through a palette rich in Indian Reds, Ochres, and Siennas. Inspired by the bold geometries of Cubism and the emotional intensity of Expressionism, I blend these styles to shape narratives that are both intimate and universal. Each canvas begins with a physical dialogue—texturing the surface with Portland cement, sand, and ceramic stucco—before layering vivid hatching strokes and embedding tactile materials like fibre, shattered glass, and textiles. The result is art that feels alive—bold, grounded, and intent on stirring both thought and soul.

 

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

The moment I saw the painting, I felt it speak to something ancient and powerful within me. The raw textures, the fiery Indian Reds and deep Ochres—it was as if the canvas pulsed with life. There’s so much passion and intensity in the strokes, it’s impossible to look away. Every time someone enters my living room, their eyes go straight to that piece. It’s not just art—it’s energy.
— Collector, Mumbai
I have worked with artists from all over the world, but Dipayan’s work left me breathless. The courage in the brushwork, the unapologetic colours, the thematic depth—each canvas is a symphony of emotion. My collectors were drawn to the bold narrative and visceral textures; they said it felt like the art was alive, speaking straight to the soul. This is not mere decoration—it’s a powerful statement.
— Gallerist, Paris
I’ve rarely seen artwork that merges technical brilliance with such emotional weight. The vibrant hues—Indian Yellow, Pyrrole Orange, burnt Sienna—seem to burn through the canvas, while the textured layers demand touch and contemplation. My client was overwhelmed, moved to tears, even. The piece now hangs in her meditation room as a symbol of strength and transformation. Truly unforgettable.
