Reshmi Bagchi Sarkar

Having completed her Bachelor and Master’s degree from Kala Bhavan, Visva Bharati University, Santiniketan, Reshmi spent over two years studying at Saga University of Fine Art in Kyoto, Japan. She is proficient in Nihonga style of traditional Japanese painting. Reshmi is currently working on a rare mode of tempera painting made of crushed stones, semiprecious at times mixed with layers of plated silver and gold. In Reshmi’s art the creative energy of mother Nature forms the central construct. She presents a feminine perspective which is sensitive and powerful. Her medium fits perfectly with her expression – layered, soft and sensitive. She comments silently on man’s systematic destruction of the positive forces of Nature and Civilization. Reshmi lives and works from Santiniketan.
