Fascinated by the diverse culture, lifestyle, facial expression and features reflecting human emotions, artist Pragyan Kranti tries to portray the sensibilities on his canvas. A versatile artist and a prolific designer, he tries to project what is beyond recognition in terms of man-made or nature-made realities of life around us. He tries to convey his notion of beauty in simplicity through his artworks. His art gives his works an essence of existence, a connection to its surroundings and of course to the viewer. While contemporary realism being his preferred style of art expression, it’s the figurative drawing and portraiture that interests him most and is well reflected through his work. Exploring in dry media, through his art, the artist attempts to reflect liveliness in his artworks. He pours his heart and soul into capturing each detail to induce life into the subject with each strokes of his pencil. A silent observer with a sharp eye to detail he believes in finding order and beauty even in the most common and seemingly ordinary subjects.
