At heart I’m an artist; my passion is creating engaging and inspiring works of art in a whole host of different media. But I’m also committed to the development of Visual Arts in Bangladesh; in fact, I believe that Visual Arts, the study and making of visual art, is crucial to the holistic advance of my country. As a faculty member in one of our country’s finest institutions, Khulna University, I am privileged to have the opportunity to share my joy for Fine Art every day with my students. I hope that I can be an inspiration to them, an encouragement to my highly-valued colleagues, and a small part in the unstoppable cultural movement in this world, called art.
I completed my Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) in Drawing and Painting at Rajshahi University, Bangladesh. Before that I taught as a faculty member of Daffodil International University in the Multimedia and Creative Technology Department and at Santo-Mariam University of Creative Technology in the Graphic Design and Multimedia Department. My research interests are folk, vernacular, and contemporary painting of Bangladesh, environmental and ecological painting. I have participated in both national and international exhibitions and conferences.
