ARTIST PERSONAL

Sakti Burman

Sakti Burman was born in Kolkata in 1935 and studied art in Kolkata and Paris. His early experiences in France and exposure to the Renaissance frescoes of Italy strongly influenced his style. He settled in Paris during the mid 1950s and his first solo was in that city in 1958. However, he retained his links with India, regularly visiting and exhibiting in the country. A fine lithographer, he has published several portfolios of lithographs and has illustrated a number of books, one being the collection of Mallarme’s poems. Burman’s creations have been exhibited around the world, including in Europe’s most prestigious galleries. He features in several Indian and international collections and has received the highest French awards for his contributions to art. He lives and works in Paris, France.
