Sketch: Self-portrait # 82

Digital Sketch: Self-Portrait of Digital Artist Samit Roy

Digital Sketch: Self-portrait # 82 (2006)

I am always very much fascinated by the idea of self-portraits. An image, that portrays one's self - that is how I perceive them. This whole idea of self-portrait, however, leaves me in the middle of a strange circus of representations, where everyone is moving with their faces covered with a blank page of a sketch book. When they meet each other, they quickly draw self-portraits and simply exchange them.



Reflection

Reflection (2006)

Sometimes, I do feel that it is nothing but a reflection! A reflection that covers the sceen, the chips, cables, ports, keyboard - everything!

Early Illustration

Illustration by Samit Roy

Illustration (1989)

Those were my days of prints and papers and PTS and ink; news papers and Sunday Edtions. The beginning of my career as a visual artist. I was in my late teen then and I used to like the smell of rubber solution!

And Birds & Myriad Birds

Digital Painting & Bangla Visual Poetry by Samit Roy

And Birds & Myriad Birds (2004)

... and birds and birds and birds and myriad birds spouted from my head ...


This is another image from my Visual Poetry collection. Being a poet and a literature enthusiast, I always like working with text. Again, on the other hand , my designer self is never satisfied with simple, conventional display of text forming a linear pattern. I noticed, how the entire meaning of the text could be changed if I display them in an unconventional manner, following the psychological patterns, evoked by the inner meaning of that particular text piece.
