ArtVantage celebrates the fusion of great cultural streams such as here with the forging of links between the visual arts and music - to help define the culture of the future.

comments from around the world

“Charles Baudelaire - a legendary name, Extensively travelled, all thru' the bad lairs of the social system poetically. So that societal problems so exposed can get transformed with the light of 'its' awareness ....... Which Sri Samij Datta articulated aesthetically with his innovative and intuitive efforts helping that awareness to evolute into required conciousness of Wisdom enmasse.........." Mr Amit Kumar Guha Niyogi, Assistant Manager, Reserve Bank of India

comments from around the world
	"The Baudelaire portrait is a powerful drawing with a strong impression! The black-and-white paint decision is perfect selected for the portrait. The face shows the real life with the ups and downs and special focus on the accentuated eyes gives a viewer the key to the inner life. A impressive work from Samij Datta.", - Ellen Sommer, MaaEarth Business & Art, Kehl/Germany.
