Rakesur Rahaman

Rakesur Rahaman’s practice grew from his early engagement with traditional miniature art during his training at the Government College of Art and Craft, Calcutta. His sketches of trees and landscapes evolved into works that blend fine brush drawing, decorative elements, and miniature motifs with contemporary concerns. Working mainly in tempera on rice paper, he mixes pigment and gum arabic by hand, using natural dyes and coffee stains to bridge historical methods with present-day expression.
