Subrata Das

Subrata Das experiments with mixed media and acrylic to create a mood of mystique that surrounds his subjects, often dotted with surreal flowers and twines, peacocks and birds and the soothing music of the flute. He is seen immersing himself in the celebrated mystical love of Radha and Krishna; a bond so sublime that it blends the rasas (aesthetics) of bhakti (devotion) and shringara romantic love). Unlike the usual depictions of Gods that tend to be ornate, Krishna and Radha are painted as young lovers in simple village attires, austere yet immersed in the moment.
