Subrata Das (b. 1967), rooted in Kolkata's vibrant artistic heritage, is renowned for his evocative depictions of Hindu mythology using acrylics and mixed media. His canvases, infused with mystical allure and bright colors, explore themes of divine love and ethereal beings.
Das's signature style exudes serene elegance, marked by aqua and blue-green hues that envelop his mythological protagonists in divine grace and transcendental beauty. His work is inspired by the poetic narratives of Hindu epics, often featuring figures like Buddha, Radha, and Krishna, rendered through a blend of modern aesthetics and traditional themes. Through his use of earthy colors and golden highlights, Das creates a magical ambiance, setting his subjects against musical backdrops adorned with symbols like blue lotuses, peacocks, and the ever-present flute. Das's technique seamlessly merges contemporary methods with age-old themes, producing paintings that radiate emotive intensity and a graceful aura. His focus on the divine love of Radha and Krishna exemplifies a timeless saga, transcending cultural boundaries with its poetic and magical representation.
Subrata Das, educated at the College of Visual Arts in Kolkata under the mentorship of eminent artist Shuva Prasanna, blends traditional wisdom with contemporary techniques. His prolific exhibition history includes solo shows at Kanvas Art Gallery (2008) and the Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata (2000), as well as notable group exhibitions at Chemould Art Gallery and Art Walk, Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai (2005). Recognized with accolades such as the Gold Medal from the Avantika International Art Exhibition (2003) and various honorable mentions, Das's works are held in esteemed collections worldwide, including those of UNICEF, ITC Group, and Taj Group of Hotels.
