Samita Basu
Born in Calcutta, Samita took to painting seriously, and as a full-time profession, only after her B.A. in Economics from Presidency College. Essentially self-taught, she benefited from and honed her skills under private tutelage. Specialising in figurative work and portraiture, she is equally proficient in oil, charcoal and pastels.
Samita has had most of her paintings going to private collections, like Aziz Premji's, Dilip andShobhaa De's, Dilip Piramal’s and commercial organisations, like Sahara India, Bharat Petroleum, Quest India, Indian Oil Corporation, Ramada Inn, etc. and private collectors overseas in Singapore, U.S.A. and the Caribbean
