Akangsha Chakraborty
Akangsha Chakraborty
Artist, Akangsha's Palette
I'm an artist based in Delhi, India, primarily focused on painting original seascapes and landscapes in oil on stretched canvas. I've also spent five years completing my bachelor's in Architecture and currently juggling my painting career with working in an architectural firm for the past two years. My creations are heavily inspired by dancing waves and patterns found in nature - the energy, colours, and spaces of landscapes. I endeavour to exhibit realism with each brushstroke and aspire for my work to connect with and evoke distinct emotions in each observer, causing each piece to remain personal and exclusive.
“Don't wait another day. Get started. That's not a platitude. Your plans are laid, and your goals are written. It's time to go.”
