On the other hand , he uses the rickshaw as a symbol of harmony between man and his carrier, between purpose and quiet strength .The running feet ,the hastening wheels are a simple proof of what substance, will and staying power can conquer .He also like the play of light and shadow .For that reason he applies charcoal and acrylic to catch the play of light and shadow on black & white basis .He is one of the leading painters of Kolkata .
