Debashish Dutta is an artist whose paintings narrate his life experiences and personal perspective on the world around him. Growing up in a village in West Bengal, his early works reflect the influence of his childhood environment, with strong ties to the figurative and landscape painting styles of Calcutta. Passionate about nature, Dutta often retreats to the jungle, living near an army camp surrounded by lush, monsoon-fed forests. He also draws inspiration from the nearby Champaner-Pavagadh heritage site and his extensive travels to the Himalayas. These landscapes, along with his deep concern about the impact of urbanization on nature, are central to his *Nature Series*. Through his art, Dutta hopes to inspire others to conserve the remaining natural beauty and wilderness.
