I'm Simanto Das,

Welcom to my Gallery and Enjoy my Artwork.

"I chase light with water and pigment."

My journey with watercolor began with a fascination for how a single drop of water can completely transform a piece of paper. Unlike other mediums, watercolor demands a partnership—you have to guide the paint while allowing it the freedom to breathe and pool in its own way.

Whether I am painting a vibrant botanical piece or a moody landscape, my goal is always to capture a feeling rather than just a replica of reality. When I'm not in my studio covered in paint splatters, you can find me scouting for new landscapes, sipping tea, or hunting for the perfect cold-press paper.
