I depict my painting Devi Durga with her four children Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth and prosperity), Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge and music), Ganesha (the god of good beginnings), and Kartikeya (the god of war). During Durga Puja, it is believed to commemorate Durga's visit to her natal home with her beloved children. Mata Durga is known as the Goddess of Power (feminine) which represents the triumph of Goodness over evil.
Her works range from various genres and mediums, in acrylic on canvas, to be specific. Her artworks consist of elements of nature, animals, birds, great personalities, mythology, cultural heritage, and social awareness and womanhood.

Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning. The goddess Saraswati is often depicted as a beautiful woman dressed in pure white, often seated on a white lotus, which symbolizes light, knowledge and truth. She not only embodies knowledge but also the experience of the highest reality. I represented it in my own way.
Belonging to a suburban area in the state of West Bengal, India, she has been brought up in a society which is close to nature, free from the hustle & bustle of city life. The red soil, the murmuring river, and expanding green covers, all added to the development of the mind of the young Artist.
“I love to work on both realistic as well as on contemporary issues."
Her works are a blend of imagination & emotions, communicated through the rainbow of colours and free-flowing brushstrokes. In their broadest sense, they are forms of visual communication. Now the Artist is mature. She has now moved to city life. She has encountered the many crude truths of society. She witnessed the status of women, the status of children, the minorities, the invisible glass ceiling that exists, the environment, endangered species, alarming pollution levels, global warming, and rising sea level.

Ganesha is called Ganapati, the elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and as the remover of obstacles. He brings good luck, is the patron of arts and sciences and is the God of intellect, purity, innocence, valour and wisdom. I represented it through my own style of contemporary art.
The love of Radha and Krishna is immortal, it has no beginning or end. They are the symbol of love. It is beyond the physical world and is spiritual in nature. It was the pure bond and love that kept both united. I depicted their love in my painting.

Her horizon broadened, and there has been an evolution of thoughts, and perspectives took different postures. Mature Chaitali feels that it is imperative to paint the critical issues of society and the world to instigate thoughts in the minds of the viewers.
“Let’s experience our life in a newer way. Let us grow together more responsibly and sustainably. Adopt Art and engage in it. Happy viewing!”
“Being close to a sustainable habitat, made me fall for the incredible creations of mother nature. When I started painting all those images began to replicate themselves in my creations. And then the story begins.”
She is responsible, her arts are no longer just a visual delicacy, but much more than that. She thrives to create works in such a way, that people must pause and think & can’t ignore the issues that are happening around them. To sum up, her artworks are beautiful, contain clear messages and compel the viewers to engage themselves on the critical issues of our time.

Goddess Durga is a deity in Hinduism. She is worshipped as a principal aspect of the mother goddess and is one of the most popular and widely revered among Indian divinities. She is associated with protection, strength, motherhood, and against all evils. Her legend centres around combating evils and demonic forces that threaten peace, prosperity, and Dharma the power of good over evil. My painting is represented in a contemporary way.
Her works resonate with people’s lives. Her art is representing not only the outward appearance of things but also their inward significance.

Kali, the black mother is considered a Hindu Goddess in India. She is also considered the master of death, time and change. She is the ultimate manifestation of Shakti and the mother of all living beings. She is the destroyer of evil in order to protect the innocent. She is also seen as the divine protector and the one who bestows liberation. I depicted Mata Kali in acrylic on canvas.
In this way, she aims to connect with others and make a positive impact on society.
She promotes arts education and takes her time out to spread the consciousness among the younger population to learn and explore arts. She is mentoring hundreds of students every year & many of them are shining with flying colours at different forums.
Rama symbolizes a model of purity, right action, and desirable virtues in the Hindu epic, Ramayana. Even faced with insurmountable odds and a strong opponent like Ravana, Lord Rama stood by what is right and defeated the odds. Perhaps, the most important life lesson learn from the Ramayana is that the truth always prevails and the victory of good over evil is inevitable. Sita is the silent figure of strength. She is the epitome of devotion as a wife, daughter and mother.
