Born and brought up in the cosmopolitan but small industrial town of Bokaro Steel City, Divyendu had high aspirations, idealism and attraction towards beauty in form and texture. This led him to National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT-Delhi) after high school. He landed with a good prod- uct design job at Michael Aram, an award-winning, international renowned American Artist who had dedicated his life to craft based design.
Divyendu’s conscious journey as an artist started when he found the design world to be too limiting to express his abstract feelings. He developed an itch to express something deeper and meaningful.
He gave up his well paying and comfortable job to tread his idealistic path and pursue his artistic quest. Understanding the challenges with the genuine artistic journey, and realising the need of deeper and meaningful expression for a better world; Divyendu founded Studio Renaissance, a not-for-profit platform to help and guide artists towards sublime expression.
Divyendu’s artworks have been exhibited in prestigious India Art Fair several times and are part of the KMNA(Kiran Nadar Museum of Art) collection, and prominent Indian art collectors. His artworks are also acquired by collectors from Austria, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Dubai, Taiwan, France, China and the USA.
