The Curd Seller

Piece description from the artist

I live in a rural area where street hawkers often pass my house shouting to sell their wares. While this is customary, at times, the voice of a hawker triggers a sensation in me, and my emotions are drawn towards it. I don't know why, but it transports me to a new imaginary world where I can feel their struggles for survival, existential angst, and exhaustion.
In the high heat of summer, when everything seems to be still and quiet, a curd seller often passes my door, calling out in a hoarse voice. Despite his efforts, no one seems to respond to him, and his voice fades away into the distance. While his curd provides temporary relief from the heat, it's a massive struggle for the curd seller to find an oasis in the desert of his life. He could use his cold curd, but life was not so easy for him. The cold curd is for others, although he bears the load of all the curd and is exhausted, but that curd is for others, not for him. This is life.
Did you feel the same?

About Amar Singha

West Bengal , India

Amar Singha grew up in a noble family in North Bengal. As a child, he found comfort in drawing with colored pencils and crayons, which helped him cope with the loneliness that often came with his privileged upbringing. His fascination with the royalty around him sparked a desire to explore deeper truths and joys through his art.

Statement – A conversation between ancestral Indian lineages and synthetic cubism allows me to express my emotions expressively. The use of colors demonstrates my sentiment that works to find hidden lofty things we usually ignore. The color itself becomes a subject that whispers to my senses.
Simplifying the composition produces uncluttered spaces that sometimes create a feeling of boundless joy, followed by the expression of colors or sometimes inexplicable sensitivity of the subconscious mind. It also brings a calmness that immerses me deeply in the spiritual realm, followed by the past spiritual experience that makes sense of my creative spirit. A subtle emotional approach transforms my form into an abstraction that is steadily expressed by line drawing. Drawing is a pivotal factor in my painting that helps viewers discern the insides despite the abstract approach of my artwork.
Amorphous brush strokes with acrylic paint create a little texture, but finally, they produce a calming smoothness that I enjoy. I then start drawing lines to make the details. Seeing how the painting reveals the object under several abstract shapes cheers me up.
I love to show several emotions that exist in humans in a calming approach inspired by the spiritual realm. It could serve a tranquil vibe to viewers and refresh their souls, which is my ultimate destination. It will thus whisper to those diverted souls to rediscover the peace inside them and inspire them to take the flavor of this beautiful life and, of course, this world once again.
