According to Veron, art is the manifestation of feelings, conveyed
externally by a combination of lines, forms, colours, or a sequence of
gestures, sounds, or words subject to certain rhythms.
B Kaushik from Mumbai is doing the same on sand. Popularly this form
is known as sand animation. He uses his fingers to draw some heart
touching stories on sand canvas. Already he is very much popular for
his work. Call shows, corporate program, different kind of festivals
and seminars really made him busy. His creativity snatches the heart
of the audiences and he is getting offers from nationally as well as
internationally.
Kaushik gets his inspiration from his childhood experiences. He used
to draw pictures on window glasses at Shillong, where he spent his
sweet childhood. His mother motivated him to create something
different and as a result, a different art form developed on his
fingertips. He has a unique style. A conscious effort to become
different always reflects in his work. Bengali folk art and
traditional forms is the base of his work. He has also meticulously
blended European touches to make it more contemporary and
international. The depth and dimensions of his work placed him in a
different category.
Live performance with sand has some difficulties, but still he
develops some superb motivational, mythological, and social stories.
Different national channels and media have already covered his
performances. He has included different magical effects, sounds,
music, and voice to make it more lively and interesting. Now a day he
is busy to convert the whole Hanuman Chalisa & Sai Satcharita into Sand Animation
