About The Artist

Born in West Bengal, Agra based artist Sabya Sachi Ghosh is a teacher by profession. Self taught he is one of the newer artists to enrich the repertoire of what Indian artists have to offer the world today. Drawn to mixing and experimenting with a range of mediums he has created canvases in acrylic, oils and mixed media. He is an avid reader and a motorcyclist. He loves visiting villages in different regions of Bengal and also travelling to various places in India and abroad. As a self taught artist he was inspired to mix colours by looking at the works of great masters like Dali, Vermer, Miro, and the renaissance artists of Europe. He says that these great masters were the catalyst that fired his imagination. As a conscious being he is aware that his creative instincts are also the result of him belonging to a civilisation that is nearly five thousand years old.
