Born and brought up in Hoogly, Chinsurah, in 1973, Amit Bhar’s art is par excellence, his canvas narrates stories within stories. Growing up near Hoogly River, Amit thoroughly enjoyed the pristine beauty of nature and his surroundings.

Amit Bhar’s captivating paintings look more like they are shot on camera and less like they are painted on canvas. Inspired by realism, Amit’s paintings capture the serene beauty of the Ganga Ghats in the holy city of Banaras, recreate the charm of a youthful woman, and paint the 3-dimensional sculptures of Ganesha and Buddha on his canvas.

Amit, a master in semi realistic technique of texturing with the realistic play of light and shade, is a self taught artist. The dazzling, pristine, rustic beauty of rural Bengal inspired Amit to start painting at a very early age. Amit is comfortable painting on all subject.

While studying at the Calcutta Government Art College, he was blessed with the guidance of Shri Paresh Das, a noted artist and gold medalist. He has so far been part of over 40 group shows and 12 solo shows. His paintings adorn many homes and offices across India, Europe, US and Canada.
