Based in Kolkata, Jiban Biswas is a contemporary Indian painter who was born in 1982 in a village within West Bengal's Birbhum district. He developed his creative foundation at the historic Government College of Art and Craft in Calcutta, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts in 2006. Growing up surrounded by rural landscapes deeply influenced his artistic outlook. His paintings frequently draw inspiration from traditional Indian heritage, spiritualism, Vaishnab philosophy, and the musical traditions of Baul minstrels, seamlessly blending Indian idealism with Western expressions.

Reflecting both the conscious and subconscious mind, Biswas's work captures the anxieties, shifts, and pressures of modern social life. He establishes a sense of practical realism by harmonizing male and female human forms with various birds and beasts. Notably, he uses the cow as a deeply personal symbol. To him, the cow embodies his own sense of wonder and confusion as he attempts to navigate the fast-moving currents of modern society.
