About Dibyendu Ukil
Born on 19th June 1974
Dibyendu Ukil, an artist who encapsulates not just the physicality of Varanasi's Ghats, but the grand tapestry of life that unfolds upon his canvas. Born by the banks of the Hooghly in Kolkata, he discovered a sense of belonging in the labyrinthine lanes and sacred ghats of this mystical city. With an insatiable thirst for exploration, he embarked on a journey along the length of the holy city, immersing himself in every sight, every sound, and every moment.
Every brushstroke of Dibyendu's oil and acrylic paintings pulsates with the essence of his experiences. He beholds the streets, the shops, the pilgrims, the travelers, and the wise sadhus with an artist's soul, capturing their stories and rituals with a profound sense of empathy. Through his art, he beckons us to see the world through his eyes, as if we are transported into the very heart of Varanasi.
Dibyendu's paintings embody a breathtaking realism that goes beyond mere representation. They serve as a metaphor, inviting us to embrace the world with heightened senses and deeper understanding. Each stroke reveals his unique perspective, inviting us to witness the rich tapestry of life that thrives within Varanasi's hallowed grounds.
