Retired IAS officer Chandana Khan is also participating in the exhibition. Explaining about her paintings Chandana said: “I did my paintings on canvas and featured Buddha in that. I have used all the colours on Buddha and used 3D effects, six watercolour texture technique, gold colour, dry pastured and blocks to make a leaf on painting. I chose Buddha because I have very strong faith in him, for me, Buddha is a different spiritual world, which is full of joy. He is a hero in colour not in abandonment.”

About his works artist Nikhil Biswas shared: “My art represents men and women, in two integral and quintessential elements of this universe in spite of being different on myriads of aspects. I have always been embarked on the journey of uniting with each other.

I have put in an effort to depict the unadulterated attraction along with their divergent longings; where the horse is a muscular and robust animal since the dawn of the mankind. The horse signifies power.

Men and woman conceive unlike thoughts and imagination and their outburst is independent as much. As men possess resilient features, he is destined to toil hard; however, he is lord imagining woman in her heart in a very dedicated manner. On the contrary, as women are very unlike of that, they long for men with bravery and supremacy.”

Rintu Roy, said, “I have done six paintings and one of them is of a gramophone. I painted gramophone because I want to give a message with it. It has vanished because people adopted the new modern technology. So I want people to remember about gramophone from my painting.”
