Ananda Das is a contemporary Indian painter renowned for his command of light and shadow and his ability to reveal the sacred within the everyday. Born to artist Lakshmi Narayan Das, he chose early to carve an independent path beyond traditional Bengal School training, a decision that shaped his distinctive visual language across charcoal, acrylic, oil, watercolour, and mixed media.
His work spans urban narratives, spiritual landscapes, and powerful animal studies. From Kolkata’s rickshaw pullers to the rituals of Varanasi, Ananda’s chiaroscuro transforms ordinary moments into poetic, timeless scenes. His paintings bridge tradition and modernity, carrying a universal resonance that speaks across cultures.
With over three decades of practice and more than a hundred solo exhibitions, Ananda’s art has been showcased at major venues and is housed in prominent collections including the British High Commission, World Bank, Reliance Industries, and Tata Group. As a mentor and evolving practitioner, he continues to push the boundaries of contemporary Indian art.
