About the Artwork +

A Captivating portrayal of Goddess Saraswati riding a swan by the prominent bengal pattachitra Plate artist Hasir Chitrakar, carries unique interpretations and information. The swan, in Hindu symbolism, is linked with purity, grace, and discernment, believed to possess the ability to separate milk from water which signify its capacity to distinguish between the valuable and the trivial. This connects with Saraswati's role as a patron of knowledge and wisdom, guiding the human to perceive truth from falsehood. Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom and laerning, her representation on a swan adds layers of symbolism to her attributes.

Hasir Chitrakar blue-tick

Hasir

Hasir Chitrakar, hailing from Naya, West Bengal, is an accomplished artist renowned for his expertise in Bengal Pattachitra and Kalighat styles. With a rich artistic lineage as the son of Manoranjan Chitrakar, Hasir has been immersed in the world of painting since the tender age of 8. His passion for the craft runs deep, evident in his dedication to preserving and showcasing traditional art forms.

One of Hasir's notable achievements includes creating a stunning mural adorning the walls of the Pingla police station. However, his artistic endeavors extend beyond his hometown, as he has traveled to various cities like Delhi and Chennai, participating in exhibitions alongside his father. Hasir's favorite project remains his time spent teaching Kalighat and Bengal Pattachitra at an educational center in Kanpur, reflecting his commitment to passing down his craft to future generations. In his Kalighat paintings, Hasir often depicts deities and celestial beings, infusing his artwork with spiritual and cultural significance. Additionally, he showcases his versatility by exploring other mediums such as Chauk Pot and wall plate paintings, adding depth and diversity to his artistic repertoire.



Bengal Pattachitra


The Bengal Pattachitra is a visual and oral art tradition practised by the Patuas or Chitrakars of West Bengal. Islamic by faith, Patua artists represent a unique and secular art tradition. They earn their livelihood by telling stories from Hindu Mythology, local folklores, Sufi tradition and contemporary themes through paintings and songs. Though the origin of the Patua tradition has been difficult to trace for art historians, some claim the oral form goes back all the way to the 10th or 11th century CE!
