"Achieving by Honoring Nature"

2011.11.18 By Aps Shan

Samiran Sarkar is not the usual nature lover or typical nature tripper. He is the one who claims nature as his that will make him achieve his dreams by putting more colors to it. And he is the same one who has been honoured, recognized, and awarded in different parts of the globe by just merely exposing the brilliance of his landscape painting.

Nature is a common artist’s inspiration but as for Samiran, it is his teacher and he found the power of nature to be mysterious stimulating the creative minds of the genius. Despite being a wide traveller to expose his arts, he is still finds his home country, India, and its neighbors like Bhutan and Nepal to be close to nature which for him is the representation of heaven here on Earth. Just like any other successful artist, he started painting during his childhood. But he realized watercolour painting is meant for him right after graduating from a prestigious art school in Kolkata, India. It is with watercolour that one can exude the best of artistic expression via art. It is the space, atmosphere, and light that Samiran finds as essential components of watercolour paintings and through creating various shades, he is able to project not just what the eyes can see but it is evident in his paintings that viewer can sense sound and scent in his works. And yes, this is how brilliant our featured artist is! In fact, too brilliant to receive international recognition like being awarded as Honorable Mention in Virginia International Art Show, GCCR Gallery, Richmond, Virginia in United States. His latest award, however, is receiving Outstanding Watercolor Award for Cityscape while being chosen, likewise, as a finalist for FineArtViews' BoldBrush Painting Competition Sponsored by FineArtStudio,(USA). This is just a few among so many other more achievementsand recognition and Artyii has never been this proud to have Mr.Samiran Sarkar onboard.

Despite his ongoing success, Samiran remains as humble just like how his successful fellow Asian artists are. And to the emerging ones, he wants to be remembered as an inspiration, as someone who is just a freelance artist who has crossed every impediment to just keep on going with his passion until he bumps to what others call “luck”.
