From childhood he had shown an inclination to draw and paint. He joined a group and had solo expositions in Calcutta, Chennai, and New Delhi. He is a prolific painter. He went through a period of neo-classical delineation and slowly arrived at an almost semi-abstract formalism.Gradually the figurative world took on an non-figurative tone and began a frenzied dance.On the verge of disappearing the figures seemed to return with thick binding lines. In stages, colours in contrast, began to pick up their assertive value. There is sometime a rupture. Bang! everything seems to explode. The dissolved figures have a way of returning to the surface. There are times when the lucidity and rhythm of colours dominate. In another series the luminosity of hues define the linear movement in twists and turns. The world of phenomena seems to vanish and then reappear. He is more interested in the awareness of objects, rather than their exactness of shape, the music that is in built in them. The art of his generation is in a sense, subversive. It rejects 20th century modern and post modern tendencies. They are heralding the art of the future-the 21st
