Rooted in the rich history of Indian and South Asian sculptural traditions, Purkayastha’s work blends and creates a mosaic of moods and mythic nuances. His supple and precise gestures conjure sensual and sacred compositions, where faces and forms crisscross, merge, and collide, generating bursts of feminine energy. This piece illustrates his ability to intertwine complex emotions with striking visual elements, reflecting his deep understanding of the nature of forms and abstraction.
