An illustrator’s response. Poem in Bengali.
Proiti’s inspiration is her daily life. She crafts her day through multiple tasks, from gardening, to caring for her family, with very special attention to her dogs, reading and of course illustrations. The heart of an artist lies in the making, connecting dots from reality to imagery. Illustrations reflect the illustrator, her choice, sensitivity and ways of exploring worlds. In Proiti’s day we find how these pieces fit.
Early morning, when the birds call and the greens too!
Years, collection and memories that never fades away
What is a day without a morning sketch!
Always by her side.
Reflection.
Shadows have four legs!
Can there ever be a day without love?
Books mean home and home means books.
Committed to her journey.
And then when night falls, you know that you have made your day.
