About the Artist, Dr.Soham Mitra (@drsoham_mitra_arts):
I am a surgeon by profession and an artist at heart. Having grown up in a family with close ties to fine arts, I have inculcated a life-long interest in arts. Having trained under eminent artists like Ganesh Payne and Dhiraj Ranjan, I have a gold medal in MFA (Kolkata). I have exhibited in over 15 countries and had countless solo and group shows.
I work with a variety of mediums but watercolors hold a special place in my heart. I am a member of World Watercolor Forum since the last decade.
Currently I am a brand ambassador for Derwent India, Black and Color and Karin Poland. I have ongoing collaborations with Brustro and Sennelier and many other national and international brands.
