Dr. Supriti Rani Datta, a renowned self-taught artist and naturalist, explores the depth of her consciousness through paintings that celebrate nature in its divinity and poetic simplicity. With decades devoted to nurturing Mother Earth—both as a scholar and as an artist—her creations reflect a rare harmony between science and art. Each canvas becomes a gentle reminder of the quiet beauty of nature and the urgent need for its conservation.
Exhibition at KIAF 2026
Dr. Supriti Datta’s exquisite works will be showcased at the Kolkata International Art Fair (KIAF) 2026, held from 10th to 16th January at EZCC, Salt Lake City. Organized by the Guild of Fine Art & Artists (GOFAA) in collaboration with the Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre, and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India and Lalit Kala Akademi, this prestigious fair promises to be a grand celebration of creativity. Bringing together artists, dreamers, and art lovers from across the globe, KIAF 2026 is more than an exhibition—it is a vibrant space where cultures connect and ideas flourish.
A Celebrated Artistic Journey
Born in the late 1950s, Dr. Datta holds a Doctorate in Botany and served as Professor of Plant Sciences at RBC College for Women, Calcutta University. Her academic journey in plant sciences seamlessly merges with her artistic vision, making her paintings both soulful and scientifically rooted. Deeply influenced by the Bengal School of Painting, her style is traditional yet touched by contemporary ideas that rise from within—gentle, intuitive and full of life.
Over the years, Dr. Datta has held eight solo exhibitions and participated in more than 48 group shows across India. Her works have found homes in private collections both in India and abroad, while her story has been featured in leading newspapers and television channels. Each exhibition adds another chapter to her inspiring journey—a testament to passion, perseverance, and the power of self-expression.
Dr. Supriti Rani Datta’s art is not just to be seen, but to be felt. Through every brushstroke, she invites us to look at nature not only with our eyes but with our hearts. Her presence at KIAF 2026 reinforces the fair’s spirit of celebrating creativity, innovation and cultural harmony, while reminding us of the timeless bond between humanity and the natural world.
