Arun Kumar Mishra
I’m constantly drawn to a certain mix of sensibility, confidence, and innocence - qualities that quietly disarm me and stay with me long after a moment has passed. That pull naturally brings women into my work. Not idealised, not polished, but in their raw, unguarded strength. I often return to the women I see around construction sites - women whose presence carries both grit and grace. There’s something about the depth of their skin, the way it holds sunlight and sweat, that feels more honest than any refined urban beauty. In them, I sense a power that doesn’t need performance. A kind of allure that simply exists. And that is what I try to honour every time I paint.

Arun Mishra's art turns out to be dominated by women images because of the strong fascination I hold about their character which is full of mystery and power. Sensibility, confidence and innocence are the qualities that never fail to intrigue, stimulate and tantalize his senses. He believes women to be most beautiful when in their raw form, like the female labourers working on or around a construction site. The women find appearance in his works and the aura of their dark black skin in its raw yet compelling form is highlighted. He finds them to possess deeper powers of seduction.
