He studied at the Government College of Arts and Crafts in Calcutta (graduating in 1956), then at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he won the Prix des Étrangers in 1956. He has now lived in Paris for nearly 70 years, while maintaining a strong presence in India. His work reflects an iconographic universe blending Indian mythology, European surrealism, and Mediterranean influences (frescoes by Giotto and Piero della Francesca). Married to the French painter Maïté Delteil (daughter of Maïa Burman, an artist), he is part of a large family network of artists in India and Europe.
