Kolkata,INDIA
Sudakshina is an artist from Kolkata who works brilliantly on canvas without any professional degree in art. She gained her tutelage from her mother who groomed her to become an artist. Though, she witnessed rich Indian culture and traditions for many years in Kolkata, but she was majorly enticed by women and their attire. She loved to observe their expressions at festive time and put them on her canvas. Her works display her elucidation of beauty in an effervescent color palette. Not only colors, but her charcoal works are also appreciated by people around the globe. She never stopped experimenting with mediums. One can also see a series of paintings where she used coffee. This medium allows her to pursue her artistic activity far and wide. Through her works, she would like to demonstrate the rich culture of her motherland and the endless beauty of people`s heart.

Sold ArtworkI was born in Kolkata, India in 1952. From a very early stage in life, my mother encouraged me to learn various forms of art and craft and I was given the freedom to explore. While I pursued my career as a teacher of Chemistry and Math for three decades, art remained my constant companion and source of pleasure. I can’t remember a single day in my life when I was not actively involved in some form of art. After I gave up teaching in 2001, I devoted my time completely towards fine arts. I completed courses in Western art from Nanyang academy of fine arts, Singapore, but I am mostly self taught. Pursuing art courses and visiting museums around the world, has helped me to gain knowledge and skill, but I believe that an artist needs to go on experimenting and exploring in order to express his or her mind.
I have worked with traditional media from 2004 till 2011, but from 2012 I have been painting regularly with coffee on watercolour paper. Since 2006, I exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in India, Singapore, U.K., and U.S.A. Works done with acrylic, charcoal, watercolour and coffee are with collectors in these countries.
When I sit in front of an empty canvas or a sheet of paper, I feel like a child running aimlessly in a vast field. I enjoy this freedom and my dialogue with the canvas or sheet of paper.
In Tagore’s words, ‘Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.’

2006- THE GANESHA SHOW 3 -Aug 2006 at The Gallery of Gnani Arts
The Ganesha Show was an exclusive series of art exhibitions, presented by The Gallery of Gnani Arts, that showcased contemporary depictions of the elephant-headed Hindu god Ganesha. The Ganesha Show 3: The Secular God in Art, the 3rd in the exhibition series, brought together a delightful combination of art by masters and emerging artists of India and Singapore – P. Gnana, Alphonso Doss, C. Dakshinamoorthy, Alpana Ahuja, J. Kalidass, V. Santhanam, Manju Chandran, S. K. Rajavelu, Sarbani Bhattacharya and Sudakshina Ghosh. Although it was quite impossible to view the Ganesha concept without its religious connotations, in this exhibition, it was an attempt to focus on the secular understanding of Ganesha in art. The various imaginative portrayals of Ganesha in this exhibition reflected the individual artist’s personal affiliation towards Ganesha, as opposed to the strict adherence to religo-mythological symbolism.
