Hari Sadhan Dey has travelled a long-way since his student life with genuine effort to capture the essence of life in common people and was fascinated by the beauty of nature, Indian traditions and culture in an unadulterated mode. Thus he experienced life in its myriad form and beauty. Chiaroscuro of nature, human form, expression, emotion, feelings, nostalgic images of old Calcutta have always inspired him and taken an important place in his paintings, on which he is working continuously.
