Sumanto Chowdhury’s technicolor landscapes feature candy-colored homes, rolling hills, and vibrant skies, influenced by Indian miniature painting. His meticulous attention to architectural details and visual depth creates scenes that evoke a harmonious, distinctly Indian utopia. Chowdhury studied Fine Arts at Kala Bhavana, Santiniketan, and earned a Master’s in Printmaking from the University of Hyderabad. His works—spanning paintings, sculptures, and prints—have been widely exhibited across India, earning awards from institutions like the South Zone Cultural Center and Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation.
Chowdhury’s canvases reflect rural, urban, and suburban landscapes, merging nature and habitation. Inspired by his childhood in West Bengal and his current life in Hyderabad, his paintings blend past and present experiences into an imaginary world. His symbolic use of colors—pink, blue, red, yellow, and emerald green—captures different moods of the day. Though semi-realistic, his landscapes uniquely exclude human figures, allowing their presence to be felt through the environment. The expansive views and endless skies in his works draw the viewer into a captivating, vivid world.
