About Anindita Dasgupta

Art for me was an immense love while growing up. However, life took me to a whole different path and into different careers for over two decades. Then life presented an opportunity for me to call the same love a profession and as I began painting again after decade. I am particularly in love with the ‘Post Impressionistic’ era artists and their work. I paint lush landscapes and stories around those and I also like painting flowers in a unique way! My enchantment and admiration for the beauty of nature guides me thru my paintings. I am an avid traveler and travel extensively to National parks and wilderness areas in the US. A large part of my creative mind occupies the various land forms that I have been awed with over the years. I try to envision these landscapes and start a painting with bright-colored palette and then my subconscious mind takes me on the journey of creating my own interpretation of those! I paint mixed media pieces with Acrylics and oil pastels. My art is abstract, expressionistic and intuitive however the I do not depart from realism completely, in the sense that my trees are still upright and water is still blue a water falls still flow downwards. I use a lot of lines, broad strokes and motifs to create my vivid landscapes that are organic and surreal in nature.I create the way I feel at a certain time, yet maintaining a uniformity in all my creations. I hope to connect with the viewers at a deeper level, with my landscapes. I create for the joy and to celebrate Earth, the beauty we call home!
