I am a self taught Indian male artist aged 34, born & brought up India and having no degree/diploma in arts. I am an under-graduate and started working from the age of twenty. Art had always been a part of my life since I received my first box of crayons. During my school/college life I used to make several pandals (temporary structure where gods & godesses are worshipped temporarily) for Saraswati pujas. Last year I made an pandal for Durga puja (the biggest festival of Bengal) with a new theme for the first time and for that I had created some artwork with bamboos which was totally new in West Bengal may be as well as in India and decorated the pandal named "Bansher Bhuvan" which had won lots of praise from different TV channels & several prizes for the first time for Durgotsav'2006 for our club. Durga puja is also a "festival of arts" where every artist tries to show their creativity. My thirst for creating new things took me into the world of gourds & now I am a Gourd Artist the first Indian Gourd artist.
