This Nagpur resident is a self-taught artist who spends most of his time working as a ticket examiner and later portraying the railway stations scenes on his canvas with the help of a colourful medium.
Through ArtZolo.com, Bijay Biswal will be exhibiting his artwork in the city at the Jehangir Art Gallery. Speaking about his artwork which will be displayed from November 1, Bijay, said: "The artwork will reflect the contribution of Indian Railway to connect everyone together. My journey started by drawing Nagpur railway station scenes. While, I spend most of my time at the railway station, most of my landscapes portray railway trains and station's scene."
Bijay paint the artwork using water colours, acrylic and charcoal. Speaking about what inspired him to learn the art, he said: "Since childhood I use to scribble on walls and papers. Being from a rural village, we had a chulhaa small brick stove and my mom used charcoal in it. In the beginning, while drawing artwork I started using charcoal from my house. My painting also includes portraits of Bollywood celebrities but after joining railways,majority of my artwork portrayed scenes at the railway stations."
According to him, one of his best artwork is to show the wet look at the platform. Bijay's first art gallery was organised in Nagpur by the railway division. According to him, the social media and online art gallery has helped a lot to spread out his artwork globally.
Speaking about his experience, Biswaal, said: "The online gallery is instrumental to connect with the art-lovers. Art gallery has a limited reach with the art-lovers but online anybody from different corners in the world can see and purchase it. I am excited about my next exhibition in Mumbai since exhibiting in Jehangir Art Gallery is every artist's dream."
