Bishal Bauri

I’m Bishal Bauri, from Purulia, West Bengal, born on September 1st, 1996. I completed my graduation Fine Arts from Kala-Bhavan 2019-23, Visva-Bharati University, West Bengal, and have recently completed my post-graduation (MFA) in Visual Arts from the Sarojini Naidu School of Arts and Communication 2023-25, University of Hyderabad.

My work often begins by collecting documents and building fictional stories around them. I explore different types of narratives, but I’m especially interested in macro narratives—those that reflect broader social or cultural issues. Through my paintings, I try to construct fiction using colour, form, and everyday objects.

Much of my practice is rooted in daily life and personal observation. I work across mixed media, often combining realistic elements with miniature-like details. This contrast allows me to create multiple layers of meaning in my work—some grounded in lived reality, others shaped by imagination
