Sandipan Paul

Sandipan’s practice emerges from a space of an inward reflection, positioning art as a tool for exploring the self. His work values emotion and intuition over logic and instruction. Printmaking for him is more than a technique, it is a tactile, meditative ritual. With every etched line on a metal plate or carved mark on a lino sheet, he immerses himself fully, channeling his emotional states into material form. The laborious, process-driven nature of the print medium resonates deeply with him; the very act of repetition, of layering, of carving, becomes a kind of therapy, an act of healing. This indulgence is not passive but vital, allowing him to process, reflect, and ultimately transform his emotions into something visually and spiritually tangible.

His subjects are deceptively simple: a paper boat, a drifting kite, birds, rainclouds. Yet these are not merely illustrations of the everyday, they are lyrical stand-ins for states of being. The fragility of a paper boat becomes a metaphor for vulnerability; a bird in flight evokes freedom or longing. In these intimate scenes, the external world becomes a mirror of internal feeling, blurring the boundary between the outer world and inner feelings.

In this way, creativity becomes a way of facing the self, of putting feeling into form. Through self-expression, Sandipan navigates the inner terrain of feeling, memory, and vulnerability, creating art not to explain, but to exist more fully. He engaged with his artwork by Experience and Realizations of own-self through the day to day life activities.
