Painting on Leather is the result of my experiments over the years. I create paintings with leather colours, photo colours, pen& ink on leather, through preparation of leather painting and its?process of preservation are laborious and time taking. Maintaining all the special features of a painting on canvas, I prefer to use the medium (Painting on Leather & Vellum)as my means of expression. I am Calcutta based practicing artist & experimenting with newer and newer techniques. Done by Tanning raw hide and then painting on it, I use the tips of my fingers as a brush, smearing colour on Leather to create images from life and nature, spirituality and rationality. The Medium of painting is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also permit me to work only in the humidity-free winter months. I have been working in this medium for quite a longtime and have also exhibited my works in different galleries in India. My exhibits have been highly appreciated among the art critics and media and also from ?GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS?, London.
