LIFE WITHOUT PASSION, IS NOT COMPLETE

Meet Maumita Sinha Roy, who believes with all her heart that “Life without passion is not complete”.

Born in Shillong, also known as Scotland of the East, Maumita loves painting. Ever since she was a child, she was attracted to colours and found herself sketching whenever she got a chance. She then started to experiment with oil pastels, acrylics and paints and fell in love with the new world and endless possibilities it provided her with.

Maumita, who has been working with a leading financial services firm for the last six years, looks forward to her evenings as she unwinds and de-stresses by painting (either commissioned work or learning a new art form). Over weekends, she spends her time sharing her knowledge of art to young, eager, enthusiastic children. Seeing them understand colours, putting life into pictures feels immensely meaningful to her and what’s more, the smiles on their innocent faces makes her day beautiful.

She loves depicting women in various dance forms and expressions and every time she starts a new painting she recalls her teacher’s words, “Once you start a painting, finish it. It might not turn out the way you want, but the dedication and patience is important if you want to continue painting”.

This new mother of a one month old, clearly has found a perfect balance in her professional and personal life. You can sense contentment in her voice as she says, “I believe that every person should have a purpose in this life and I found mine via painting. It is like meditation to me, without which my day is not complete.”
