Bijay Biswaal

The self taught railwayman with an unbridled passion for painting, who has successfully carried his passion to national and international level. His technical perfection in his trade has left art lovers … Connoisseurs and art critics gasping for more : Water Color, Acrylic, Oil pastel, Collage, Cartoon, Caricature. He has left his own mark in all the genre and medium. He always maintains his best is yet to come. ”Art is where my heart is, cant think of living a day in my life without painting. I have been painting since my childhood,lack of any qualifications or degree from any art college has not been an impediment in my career as an artist. I am fully self taught artist and am fiercely proud of it. Nature is my muse, I am attached to nature. Hence, you will find its presence in most of my works. I am fascinated with facets of nature in all its forms. Earth, Sky, Water, Twisted trunks, jagged rocks, they all attract me from time to time. Of late rain soaked wet platforms of Indian railways have become my latest obsession. I am living and talking and thinking wet platforms all the time, painting for me is the ultimate form of self expression and I believe in expressing myself in a way that could equally touch the heart of a banker sitting in a corporate building to that of a paanwala selling his wares on a road side kiosk. Paintings need not be too esoteric or too abstract to go above a common man nor it should be like a calendar either. A good painting ought to be like a fine poetry or a story or a song. That hunt you long after you have read it or heard it. ”
