Rajat Ghosh - Artwork 116

A striking, mask-like portrait rendered with bold, uneven washes of green and red that give the face an unsettling, otherworldly presence. Heavy black contour lines define exaggerated features — elongated nose, prominent septum ornament and asymmetrical eyes — producing an intense, expressionist character that lingers in the mind. Set against a fiery red background and framed by a narrow white border, the composition feels both intimate and confrontational.

The artist’s assured line work and raw painterly textures create a visceral study of persona and ritual adornment, evoking a fusion of folk motifs and modernist distortion.
