Shampa Sircar Das did her B.F.A. (Painting) from College of Art, New Delhi followed by M.F.A (Painting) from Jamia Millia Islamia. The rich Indian cultural heritage and Indian Philosophy inspire Shampa’s works. The works are resplendent in symbols that are embedded in a common cultural matrix. She has participated in numerous group shows in India and abroad including Galleries and International Art Fairs in India, South Korea, New York, Dubai, Chicago, London, Korea, Vietnam and Singapore. “My works wield a wand of philosophy and aesthetics, encompassing a vital embrace of layers of consciousness and realised awareness through individual and shared journeys. For as landscapes of the figural and metaphysic, such painterly endeavours are based upon imagination, fuelled and inspired by mythology, characteristically rich and complex in Buddhist and Vedic pantheons. As in sacred or spiritually based art, the image assists a viewer, creator, and participant, to shed his/her separateness and join in a broader cosmic dance of realization.”
