Joy of Plein Air
Travelling for inspiration
“I don’t pretend that I paint because I want to say something or convey a message. So, please don’t read any hidden meanings into my paintings. I paint because I like to portray the happier side of life — beautiful landscapes, for example — because I think that there are enough artists painting the morbid side.”
“I love to travel because that’s where the so-called inspiration comes, so I hope to travel more, paint and be generally happy.”
— Animesh Roy,
