Dewashish Das

Born in North Bihar, Dewashish Das has spent a better part of his life amongst the tribals. Having imbibed their ways, he has tried to capture their lifestyle into his art. Simple details like caste marks, necklaces, peacock feathers, animals and vivid colours like red, green, yellow, blue and white are the trademarks of his paintings.
