Those fortunate enough to witness the true essence of a free mind will understand the remarkable ability of my dear friend, Soham, to infuse life and vibrancy into his canvas. The rare talent he possesses, shaped by the intentions of a creator, sets him apart from others. Soham’s mind and consciousness cannot be confined by the harsh realities of life. The way he styles his colours and creates his paintings reflects an abstraction that invites exploration; one must journey to a beautiful, luminescent beach to fully appreciate it. Here, warmth fills the air, and a stunning rainbow stretches across the sky, offering a glimpse into Soham’s brilliant mind at work, crafting something exquisitely beautiful. We are merely awed spectators of his creative journey. His exceptional talent reminds me of the poem by Rabindranath Tagore: “Amar mukti aloye aloye ei akashe…” (19.09.1926, Germany).
