The participants of this group art exhibition are the students of Fine Arts at the University of Development Alternative (UODA). The media used for realising the artworks were not restricted to conventional materials and most of the works has their bases in nature. Though these nine budding artists are exhibiting as a group, their styles and interpretation of artistic imagination are unique to each of them.

The participating artists are an intense observer of their surrounding ambiences and they meticulously projected them. Their paintings are refreshing and provide the spectators with a sense of pleasure. Their depictions are lively and vigorous. Perhaps as a result of collaborating in several group art exhibitions, art camps and workshops, they have assuredly garnered a beautiful understanding of colours, forms and media distinguishable from their peers.

The participating artists are: Agoy Paul, Diptha Modak, Md Faijul Islam, Nafisa Hossin Peo, Nasrin Zahan Onika, Saiful Islam, Sheikh Sarmina Mannan, Sumaiya Sharmin and Trisha Ferdoushi.
