“My love for painting started from early childhood days, when I saw my uncle’s notebook” says Jugal
Creative people always find a way to shape up their imagination. This does not always require formal training, rather the aspiration to learn and prepare on major goals like fulfilling one’s passion. A live example of the above lines is the well-known young art portrait artist
“My love for painting started from early childhood days, when I saw my uncle’s notebook” says Jugal. Expressing complex emotion in the human face is the subject for Jugal Sarkar’s painting. Growing up in the northern part of West Bengal, Mr. Sarkar has developed a close kinship with the natural world and its connection with the indigenous people. That kinship is the basis for the portraits he paints.
The Kolkata-based artist works in acrylic, watercolor, and oil-medium with a bold color palette and fluid style to give his portraits a presence that captures the character of the person. Several original works of the artist are in possession of private collectors from various parts of the world. Jugal is now open accepting commissioned work for custom portraits.
“Success is when people become happy to see their portraits or after buying a portrait from the artist’s collection” Says Jugal. During the Covid pandemic, when schools and colleges started online classes, Jugal took tutoring to a new level of success, where he started online painting classes. Apart from taking regular classes, he is also engaged in monthly workshops. Each workshop is different from the other in terms of medium, language and the context.
According to his fan followers on social media, he excels in his previous works every day. Each portrait is lively and amazing. He is equally skilled in both color painting and pencil sketches. He uses oil, water and acrylic mediums for painting. However, his pencil sketches using graphite pencils as well as charcoal excel in their own way.
