Tousif Haque, a luminary in the world of contemporary art, has his roots deeply embedded along the meandering banks of the Damodar river. His childhood, spent in the lap of Bengal's sorrowful yet mesmerizing river, has greatly influenced his palette and strokes. Haque's work is a nostalgic odyssey that captures the ephemeral beauty of the river's many moods, from the fierce lashings of the monsoon to the placid tranquility of autumnal waters. Emerging as a poignant narrator of the river's tales, his canvases are a testament to the intimate relationship he shares with the Damodar. With an artistic career blossoming alongside the river's own ebbs and flows, Tousif Haque’s paintings are not merely images but verses in a love letter to the landscapes of his youth.
