Artist Profile: Mousumi Paul
Name: Mousumi Paul
Art Style: Folk-Inspired Contemporary Craft
Specialty: Doll painting and creative art on everyday household items
Mousumi Paul is a passionate and self-taught artist known for transforming ordinary household items into vibrant canvases of cultural expression. With a deep-rooted love for Bengal’s rich artistic heritage, Mousumi specializes in painting on unconventional mediums like glass bottles, coasters, trays, and other commonly used objects.
Her art draws strong influence from traditional Bengali ‘Pot Chitra’ and ‘Aalpana’ — a decorative folk art form typically practiced during festivals and rituals. Through her brushstrokes, Mousumi reimagines these cultural motifs in a modern, accessible form that bridges everyday utility with artistic beauty.
One of her notable works, titled “Glass Bottle Doll Painting 01,” features two 3.5-inch-high glass bottles, painted using acrylic colors. The bottles are adorned with lively, hand-painted characters from popular animation (Tom and Jerry), rendered in her signature style with bold outlines and cheerful expressions. This playful composition reflects her ability to blend traditional art sensibilities with contemporary pop-cultural elements, making her work both nostalgic and eye-catching.
Mousumi is a frequent participant in art and culture festivals, where she showcases her unique creations and interacts with fellow artists and enthusiasts. Beyond gallery spaces, she also ventures into rural villages where she engages in community wall painting projects, bringing color and creativity to public spaces.
Her work stands as a testament to how folk traditions can be beautifully preserved and reimagined through modern interpretations, and how even the most modest of objects can become a canvas for cultural storytelling.
