Welcome to Art by Biswajit Das

About Biswajit

The protagonist of Satyajit Ray's final film, Agantuk (The Stranger), played by the legendary Utpal Dutt, describes the moment when he chances upon the sketch of a bison in an art magazine, the sketch, attributed to a primitive caveman, is so perfect in its detailing, so real, that he just cannot get it out of his mind. Despite being an art student, and a brilliant one at that, he knows he cannot better it, no matter how hard he tries. Shaken to the core, bewildered, he drops out of the Art school.

I was thankfully spared of such an experience. And so, my love affair with art continued, unabated. I graduated from art school in 1987. Every job I have held since has centred around art and creativity. These include stints at advertising agencies in Delhi and Mumbai, as well as several publication houses. Over the years I have created campaigns for multinationals, art directed photo-shoots, designed corporate identities and helped launch magazines. The designation slot on my visiting card was fitted with the titles of Visualizer, Art Director and finally Creative Director. But I remained an artist at heart, and I continued to indulge in painting, sculpture and teaching, whenever I got the opportunity.

The 'corporate' experience was both rich and fulfilling. However, I was beginning to grow tired of what I saw as the 'templatised' approach to creativity. The idea of operating in a creative space that didn't conform to any set framework was slowly taking shape in my mind. But I soon realized, much to my dismay, that such a creative space existed only in my imagination. That there was no real-world agency that could offer me such an experience.

But now that the idea had really taken hold of me, I decided to take it to its logical conclusion. Yes, I decided to bring that imaginary space to life. The result was my own studio, ‘artbybiswajitdas’.

Artwork

“Art demands constant observation!”
- Vincent Van Gogh

The substructure of art is the ability to reflect and capture the real world. Observational art is drawing or painting from life so as to convey and interpret as faithfully as possible.

As an artist I feed on observing things around me, it helps me in adding new dimensions to my creative process. I love observing people, structures, day to day life and not to forget the beautiful play of light. My work is influenced by realism and surrealism and has a huge reflection of what I see, what I observe and what I feel.

Painters use different mediums to paint. I specially love water colour, acrylic and pen and ink. Water colour and acrylic gives fluidity in my work and also a faster pace. Pen and ink, is convenient to carry and helps to capture shape, light and mood easily. The beauty of these mediums gives a great sense of satisfaction to me.

Classes

A graduate in Fine Arts from Sarada Ukil School of Art, New Delhi. A certificate holder, in art appreciation from the prestigious National Gallery of Modern Art. Been awarded Guru Drona in 2018 by Radart International, I am immensely passionate about teaching art. I have been teaching sketching and painting for over 30 years now. I specialize in sculpture, murals and illustrations other than painting. After a long stint with advertising for over 32 years, I decided to go my own way and founded ‘DesignVriksh’ (2010) and ‘Art by Biswajit Das’ (2020) with the core objective to teach and impart art skills to students of diversified age.

My main emphasis as a teacher and mentor, is to equip my student to develop the skills and freedom of being a thinker and not to shy away from experimenting with different styles and mediums.

Art by Biswajit Das, is neither a conventional agency, or your typical art school. Instead, it’s a creative space where one is free to express oneself anyway one likes.

Testimonials

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” - Thomas Merton

The art of painting is best learnt and realised with a patient and nurturing teacher. That is one thing I can say about Mr. Biswajit Das. The weekend painting sessions are something I look forward to every week since our teacher makes it fun yet meaningful. He extends to his students the freedom of painting anything from imagination and guides us throughout the painting process. This helps us to be able to depict the most accurate version of what we envision. Biswajit sir’s experience in varied creative fields and art forms, makes him the ideal teacher to learn art from.

Shraddha, Student

Biswajit is a great teacher & fine person! I must appreciate his artistic talent, his ways of guidance and encouragement. Biswajit was a big help to us on a school project during this corona phase, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Look forward to making Zayn work on his drawing skills with Biswajit in the days to come.

Mr Biswajit Das, fondly called Biswajit Sir is an artist with flair, compassion & precision. While he is actually a commissioned artist, I have known him as my son's Art Teacher & also his confidant. Over the years, he has earned the role of mentor & guide in my son's life. His cheerfulness, commitment, hearty interactions with kids, efforts to keep their creative minds engaged is worth mentioning. He also introduced us to Art in a form which is easily understandable & relatable. His art exhibition has been an eye opener & we felt so much at ease looking at & understanding each piece of art. Good wishes for his work & creating little creative minds.

I had commissioned an employee engagement mailer campaign to Biswajit. The creative artworks struck a chord with the employees and made the campaign a huge success. Besides his creativity, Biswajit is extremely patient with his clients.

Our daughter Anshika is privileged to pursue her passion for art under the guidance of Biswajit sir. She has been learning from sir for over 3 years now and we really admire sir’s eye for detail and patience while teaching his students. Anshika also won a national award for canvas painting under his guidance

I chanced upon Mr Biswajit when my then 8-year-old son and his friends were looking to taking art classes with him. What struck me instantly was how the boys took to him with incredible ease. My son is now 22 years old; he sketches beautifully with such organic ease it leaves me speechless & very happy.

Around 7-8 years back I sceptically asked him if he could tutor me into taking up painting. I wasn’t sure because I was rather old and maybe not pliable too. One thing about Mr Biswajit is that his dictionary doesn’t have the word ‘NO’. I joined him and stuck on for 2/3 years enjoying learning so much under his guidance! I was allowed to express myself exactly the way I wanted to-I discovered my own path, my own style & my own dreams.

Mr Biswajit is extremely talented, a fabulous supporter of varied art forms, very open to students’ ideas all the while teaching very grounded and practised art.

He has been a very big part of me finding myself when I needed it most. Please entrust yourself, your family & friends into his capable hands & dream on.

"It has been a pleasure to watch Aishani's hesitant sketches evolve to beautiful, confident strokes under Biswajit's patient and persistent tutelage. It is very refreshing to see her eagerness to attend his classes and learn new techniques in Art. Biswajit's constant encouragement and appreciation has not only had a positive effect on my child's artistic expressions, but also on her will to wor...Read more

"Sristi was one of the fortunate ones who had been in association with Biswajit Sir since 2003. She was just 8 then, and would look forward to her Art Class and would willingly participate in the class. Art Sir – a friend, a buddy, a guide who with his friendly yet firm approach would lead his bunch of naughty and interesting class of students very dexterously through his world of lines, forms and colours, making each topic interesting with stories, competitions and various activities. Sristi resumed back her classes in 2010, as Sir came back to Delhi from Bombay, and was coaxed by some very persistent parents to get back to mentoring his students once again. Sristi has learned a lot from Biswajit Sir. She learned the basic aspect of observing and appreciating art and finally evolving and creating, under her teacher’s guidance. Each week the students look forward to their class where they are free to express themselves as they wish and their teacher waits, watches and guide them patiently to unravel their young minds beautifully with various tones and shades."
