Sovan Manna, Artist on The Bandra Store

Sovan Manna spent his childhood in Kolkata, drawing deep inspiration from the vibrant spirit of the City of Joy. Amid the ever-changing cityscape, it is the humble tree that inspires him most—imperfect yet full of character and wisdom. Influenced strongly by Vincent van Gogh, he carries expressive elements of the master’s style into his own work. Each of his paintings mirrors his state of mind and explores the environment’s constant evolution over time. Through the resilience of trees, his art emphasizes patience, strength, and the ability to adapt gracefully to life’s shifting seasons.
