Mithun Das

Mithus Das was born in 1986 in the village of Raipur, 24 Parganas-South. He graduated from an art college in Kolkata, the city in which he lives and works.
“My works stem from the unconscious, and a meditative state, where I feel that the paintings get created through me. There is an uncanny fear or an unexplained anxiety that haunts me. And there is also a search for self-identity and a deep desire to fulfill some need that I cannot comprehend. Somehow, with such an odd mix of feelings and impulses, I feel a wave of positivity when I am within the process of creation, that I feel, is controlled by someone else inside of me.”
