Anukta Mukherjee Ghosh

At Inkroot Studio, we take pride in spotlighting artists whose work not only celebrates visual beauty but also carries a living, breathing sense of place and time. Kolkata-based visual artist Anukta Mukherjee Ghosh is one such name — a contemporary realist whose paintings distill the textures, colours, and moods of everyday India with an elegance that keeps the familiar endlessly engaging.

In Anukta’s world, the streets of the city, the quiet corners of rural landscapes, and the faces of ordinary people coexist in a vibrant dialogue of line, form, and colour. Her brush, whether dipped in acrylic or oil, moves with fluid grace across mediums, capturing moments that feel both timeless and fresh.

Anukta’s artistic journey took a compelling turn after more than a decade in the corporate world. Choosing to follow her creative calling, she earned a Diploma with distinction from the London Art College, setting the stage for a flourishing career. Her works now reside in private and institutional collections across India, the US, UK, Dubai, Germany, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. Prestigious commissions have followed — from bespoke creations for ITC Hotels to a striking series in London for Speciality Restaurants Ltd.

Her painting Magan, emblem for a nationwide women’s empowerment initiative, was recognised by the Government of India, while her series on iconic Indian films found its way to none other than Amitabh Bachchan’s blog. Over the years, her works have graced exhibitions in India, Italy, and Dubai, with a career highlight being her selection for the XIV Florence Biennale 2023, held under the patronage of UNESCO and the European Parliament.

Represented by Mojarto and Paris-based Singulart, Anukta’s work has been featured in publications such as The Telegraph, Times of India, and Millennium Post. Whether in intimate portraits or expansive compositions, she invites viewers into a visual narrative where India’s diversity — urban and rural, sacred and everyday — is both honoured and reimagined.

Through her practice, Anukta Mukherjee Ghosh reminds us that art, at its finest, is not only about what is seen but also about what is felt — the stories that live in a fleeting glance, a familiar street corner, or the warmth of colours that echo across memory.
