Paramesh Paul is a self-taught Indian artist whose work bridges the sacred and the sublime. Born in 1970 in a rural village of West Bengal, he was raised in a family of traditional potters, where his earliest artistic expressions took shape through clay sculptures of Hindu deities. This grounding in craft and devotion laid the foundation for a career that now spans both sculpture and painting, infused with spiritual depth and cultural resonance.
Paul’s paintings are a vivid confluence of mythology, architecture, and emotion. He draws heavily from Hindu iconography—Lord Shiva, Nandi the bull, the Ganges river, and the ghats of Varanasi are recurring motifs in his work. His canvases often depict scenes from Banaras, rendered in rustic tones of yellow, red, green, and blue, evoking both serenity and spiritual intensity
Though widely known for his paintings, Paul’s journey began with sculpture. His early clay creations of gods reflect a tactile intimacy with form and faith. This sculptural sensibility continues to inform his paintings, which often carry a three-dimensional depth and architectural layering.
