As it is that said once a soldier always a soldier. I think the same goes for an artist as well. Oh my god I am sure that you are thinking who is this guy and what he is exaggerating about. Ok now let me introduce myself. I am Hrisikesh Bhattacharya an artist by profession. After graduating from the University of Guwahati I have finally settled in Mumbai. From childhood only I had keen interest in art. The entire concept of creating new things thrilled me from the beginning. But I never planned to be an artist. But my quest for art drove me to become a professional in this field.

As we know that our culture is diversified so is our art. From Kashmir to kanyakumari and from western ghats to eastern ghats there are art in many forms and sorts. The main reason why I chose painting as a profession was somewhat related to this. I wanted and will always want to show and depict this culture of India to the rest of the world. With practically this being impossible me and some of my art enthusiast friends hit upon the idea to launch an online art gallery. This way our purpose is solved of bringing the world together and helping people to see and learn about Indian painting. Here not only me but there are quality handmade paintings by eminent artists. We launched the site in December 2010 and very soon has been dubbed as one of the best online sites in this category.

This online gallery is one of the most user friendly web portals and a customized as well. Here the viewers can see their painting according to their choice of categories. The paintings are categorized as abstract art, realistic paintings, figure art, sketches, portraits, still life paintings, animal paintings, cityscape paintings and traditional art etc. As a result an art lover who is looking for a particular type of art will have no problem to find his category and artworks he is looking for.
