SMD doesn’t gatekeep: Here's all you need to know about this Kolkata-based banker-turned-artist

Kolkata-based artist Supriyo Banerjee

A banker turns to the canvas in his later life. That's the story of Kolkata-based artist Supriyo Banerjee. On his Instagram page - which is run by his daughter - he showcases his original artwork. What style is it, you ask? Think Bob Ross. Large sceneries, that look like a place I'd like to escape to, from this concrete jungle that we call Mumbai.

Who says only Monet and Picasso are artists? More importantly, who says they're the only artists worth collecting? Banerjee is proof that it is never too late to pursue your passion. And that story is worth collecting.

As someone who is just moving into a new home, the number one thing I struggle with is how to decorate those empty walls? I'm not old enough (or rich) to be able to commission real artwork. This is where Banerjee comes in. His paintings range anywhere from '5000 to '10,000. So now, you too have no excuse to keep the walls in your house undecorated.
