Artist Samar Majumder said about his exhibition Mrittika Maya, I find pleasure in expressing myself through paintings. Across the canvasses I feel the most spontaneity in articulating my thoughts. My country, my motherland Bangladesh is my greatest muse. I am an offspring of this remarkable land and on her soil I sense a repose that drives me, empowers me to encase the beauty I see around me. My feelings of affection, fondness, protest or sadness everything is deeply amalgamated with Bangladesh. This interrelation, simple and lucid, is what I depict in my paintings and that I believe, becomes associable to the viewers. This is my second solo exhibition which will feature paintings that I have created over the course of last three years.
