Somenath Maity is an artist who paints what the city feels like from within the texture of lived urban experience, the weight of structures that shape consciousness. Born in East Midnapore and trained in Kolkata's artistic traditions, his work emerges from conviction: art is witness, a way of saying this beauty exists here, in the ordinary architecture we pass without seeing. His paintings of light on facades, shadows in alleyways, and metropolitan solitude do not appear as mere landscapes; they rise as presences and testimonies to what persists in the built environment, transforming structures into subjects of reverence. Drawing from decades of sustained observation, Maity weaves the visual language of urbanism into his compositions not as decoration but as connection, threading the viewer into the vast network of those who have lived and walked these spaces. His art remains quiet in its intensity the city stands before us with dignity, asking to be truly seen, asking to reclaim space in our consciousness with every carefully rendered brushstroke.
