Ananda Das

Ananda Das, a celebrated contemporary artist from Calcutta, masterfully weaves urban poetry with spiritual consciousness. Trained at the Bengal School of Arts and guided early by his father, renowned artist Lakshmi Narayan Das, he forged an independent path at eighteen that shaped his distinctive style. Working across charcoal, acrylic, and mixed media, Ananda is known for his striking use of chiaroscuro and emotionally charged realism.

His acclaimed series—The Sacred Rituals of Varanasi, Calcutta Chronicles, and The Majestic Bulls and Horses—reflect deep sensitivity to human resilience, faith, and urban life. Exhibited at prestigious venues including Jahangir Art Gallery, the French Consulate, and the Ayodhya Ram Mandir inauguration, his work bridges tradition and modernity, embodying India’s evolving artistic spirit.
