Sekhar Roy, 1973 | Figurative painter

Life is a river, starts from the hilly area, it flows down on plain, collecting the stones, soils and some dirt, making all to fertilizing others but burden for itself.

Sometimes it gets fresh water from rain or by any other small stream, which makes the river strong and powerful.

His life is also the same; it started on 17th August 1973. It was not so smooth for him in his childhood days due to some political and socio economic reasons.

In his school days he had that urge for energy which could make him more empowered, more spontaneous. After few days when some useless particles being already collected in his life and the 'Gati'(speed) was obstructed, he got someone who was just like a fresh stream to his blockade wave and enhanced its speed.

He was his Guru (teacher) late. Prof. Gopal Sanyal. With all his guidance and blessings he did eight solo exhibitions, participated in various group shows and camps.

He’s very much influenced by the Indian mythological characters specially ‘Krishna and His surroundings’.

He’s getting immense pleasure by depicting the different postures of that great character of ‘Mahabharata’, because that particular character is seemed to him a perfect combination of love, passion and thoughtful mind. Thus his journey is going on.

Sekhar Roy: "Sono il più giovane tra gli altri miei fratelli. Sono nato in Bangladesh nel 1973.

Siamo venuti in India a soli 6 anni. A causa dei numerosi disordini politici ed economici di quei giorni, eravamo tenuti a essere immigrati e ci siamo stabiliti in India.

Ci sono state molte lotte che abbiamo affrontato in quei giorni, ma la mia famiglia, specialmente mia madre, mi ha supportato molto per stabilire la mia carriera per diventare un artista.

Sfortunatamente, ho perso mia madre così presto. In qualche modo sono riuscito a mantenere e ho cercato di stabilizzare i miei piedi per terra come artista.

Mi sono sposato e ho una figlia. Sto ricevendo un supporto completo da loro. Mi spingono sempre in su per le loro critiche ed entusiasmo.

Sono un artista autodidatta che arricchisce le mie qualità nella vita di tutti i giorni. Sono laureato in commercio".
