Hallstatt Daydreams - Subarna Mukherjee

Oil on canvas
 
I work primarily with oil and acrylic on canvas, occasionally venturing into
sculpture and photography. My practice explores the absurdity and spirituality
of life, using portraiture and compositional work drawn from personal
experience. Deep reds, blues, and blacks dominate my palette, creating rich,
textured surfaces that evoke a sense of mystery. Through the interplay of light
and shadow, I aim to give depth and presence to my subjects, often creating a
sense of direct engagement with the viewer. Each piece either unfolds as a
layered narrative or forms a thread in a broader web of interconnected works. I
strive to capture emotions that are both intimate and universal—moments of
quiet unease, glimpses of the sacred within the grotesque, and the flicker of
light that persists at the edge of darkness.
