"Isolation is the most important factor in these paintings. You are alone with nature, and then you become part of it –you participate in it."

Ganesh Haloi's art has evolved through a series of transactions from pure landscape to the innerscapes.

Even though it is abstract, Haloi's works and his motifs have precise associations with the artist's psyche, his experiences and the upheavals that have shaped him and his point of view. "Everything begins in pain," says Haloi. He maintains high standards craftsmanship and his construction of tress, houses and the ambience of Kolkata that seems murky with a suppressed strength. Some of his unforgettable work includes nature-scapes painted on rice paper.
