Durga
(2020)
Drawing
This is the sketch of Durga. one of the most revered goddesses in India. She is worshipped and celebrated around Sep-Oct, for 5 days, by the Indian community worldwide, including in Hong Kong. But the most dazzling celebrations happen in Kolkata, India, which has received heritage status from UNESCO. The event is called "Durga Puja" or "worshipping Durga". I created this work as a souvenir cover, which was published at HK Durga Puja in the year 2020.
The image shows an artisan at Kumortuli (Artisan Village) in Kolkata, giving finishing touches to the clay idol of goddess Durga.

I grew up in the most art-loving city in India, Kolkata. I never learned from anyone but was inspired by my artist uncle, and legendary painters, cartoonists, and illustrators. My schoolbooks and college notebooks were filled with doodles and sketches. I could not take up art as a career as my family was keener to get me a regular job. Over the years, I almost stopped sketching.
I started sketching again a few years earlier, upon my wife's and a few friends' insistence. I quickly regained my lost love for sketching. I found that an is a wonderful way to express, and a stressbuster at the same time. This time I honed my skills by watching the masters online and getting the right materials. My favorite medium is pencil and pastel. My work has been appreciated within my small community in Hong Kong.
