Uttam Bhattacharya : Painter

I do believe that humans are the most beautiful creation of God. Their myriad of expressions, their joys, sorrows
and their dreams always fascinate me, intrigue me and fill my mind with wonder and awe. Through my painting, I
try to capture my fascination in my own way. In my painting, I intentionally deviate from the realistic portrayal of
figures in order to capture and bring to life their world of dreams, agonies and ecstasies in my canvas. The
characters I create are from the surrealistic DREAM world. They have dreamy closed eyes-transporting the viewers
to their own mystic land of DREAM.
I take help of dark colours to capture their pain and bright colour over it to capture their dreams and their hopes of
finding endless possibilities within despair and deep trouble. Through my painting I always try to portray the
rhythm of life- brightness in the middle of impregnable dark, joy in the midst of sorrow and hope amidst
desperation.
