BIPLAB DUTTA
Let love flourish in the days which are full of stress, meditation being the only way out naturally. In the span of forty years through the different stages of life I have come to portray the different stages of mind (transcendental levels) in the form of my paintings. The depiction mainly being Shiva and Shakti, the ultimate in bringing evolution in the universe has been depicted by me in my work. It gives tremendous joy, a feeling of wellbeing, and being elated in the universe of divinity, where joy has no bounds. So, when an artwork gets completed, so does the feeling. The process goes on forever, hence a never-ending story.
