« Twenty men crossing a bridge, Into a village, Are twenty men crossing twenty bridges, Into twenty villages, Or one man Crossing a single bridge into a village. -Wallace Stevens »
Ranbir Kaleka is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist based in India whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Switzerland, Italy, the United States, China, Australia, Taiwan, Brazil, Austria, Japan, Spain, etc. What interests him the most is the human condition and the inner lives of people, which he believes "can only be hinted at but remains elusive at a conscious level". Kaleka's diverse painterly compositions are most often created digitally.
