En Plein-air

Arijeet Chanda is an accomplished plein air artist, curator, and mentor dedicated to capturing the fleeting essence of nature, light, and culture. Driven by a passion for capturing the world as it unfolds, Arijeet has traveled nationally and internationally to participate in major plein air events, painting alongside diverse talents from around the globe. Beyond his own easel, he acts as a community builder—curating and organizing plein air gatherings that foster creative exchange and a shared love for painting directly from life.

"Art is not just about creating images. It is about learning to see. When I step out into the open air, I enter the ultimate classroom. Nature never waits—the light shifts in minutes, clouds drift, and shadows move continuously. My work is a rapid, honest dialogue between my canvas and the living landscape, capturing the atmosphere, culture, and truth of a single, unrepeatable moment."
