Praween Karmakar
Ranchi, India
Praween specialises in watercolour painting, depicting everyday life moments. He looks for the beauty in the simple; local scenery and ordinary people are among the most frequent motifs in his art.
This image depicts the common people of his country, engaged in extremely difficult work that they must undertake to survive. In spite of telling the story of this hard life, the painting does not emanate depression or sorrow; rather, it
is filled with sunlight and vitality. It reminds us that we should be thankful for each instant in our lives and find reasons to feel hope and joy in the small things around us.
