Gouranga Beshai | Uma | Acrylic on Canvas | 36 x 60 inches
In this deeply evocative acrylic painting, the artist presents a solitary young woman wrapped in a soft grey sari, standing barefoot against a moody, atmospheric blue backdrop. Her posture is gentle yet self-contained — one hand raised thoughtfully to her lips, her gaze steady and introspective. A small red bindi glows at the center of her forehead, becoming a quiet focal point that anchors her presence.
The monochromatic drapery flows around her like a protective layer, its folds rendered with delicate precision. In contrast, the background carries expressive splashes and textured drips of blue and muted tones, suggesting memory, rain, or an emotional landscape rather than a physical one. The interplay between the calm figure and the restless backdrop creates a subtle tension — as though she stands composed amidst the turbulence of the world around her.
There is innocence in her expression, but also quiet resilience. The work feels intimate and poetic, capturing not just a likeness but a state of being — a moment suspended between vulnerability and inner strength.
Born in 1968 in West Bengal, this self taught artist shows a great influence of Hemendra Mukherjee in his depiction of the female figures. As a realist artist his usage of colour too brings to life the figurative study in detail. Gouranga has exhibited his works through several solo shows in Kolkata, and Mumbai and participated in many annual shows over the years in Kolkata and Delhi and participated in innumerable groups’ shows in Kolkata, New Delhi, and Hyderabad.
He has attended many camps as follows: Several Art Camps in Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bhopal, Sikkim; Art Auction in Aid of Tsunami victims at Calcutta Swimming Club, 2005. He is the recipient of several awards as mentioned: Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata Atul Bose’s Award & Academy’s Award, 1999; Reflection of Another Day (RAD) Aranya Award 2003; Vicharmanch, Indra Dugar Samman (Awards) 2005; Govt. of Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) Awards 2012; Colours Land Art Academy Certificate of Excellence 2014.
