Born in Kolkata, Nibedita Sen, a painter, writer and seafarer, studied literature, and started off as a byline journalist, also studied cinema, and acted in a documentary-feature. But soon she left Kolkata and moved to Delhi to work as a creative-art-therapist, with spinal-injured-people at Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, and with the sexually-abused children at Udayan-Care. She also worked with the blind children as resource person and rehabilitation-counselor in National Association for the Blind. 

A decade of sailing in the deep seas with her master-mariner husband steered her into deeper inward-journeys, culminating into a series of sea-paintings and sea-poetry, titled Sea-Inside. Nibedita exhibited her work at Lalit Kala Academy, Chemould, AIFACS, India International Centre, Academy of Fine Arts, Renaissance Gallery, RWB Essen, Germany, to name a few.

Her reflective-research Gitanjali and Sea Inside: Parallel Journeys, was sponsored as a solo-travelling-exhibition by the ICCR (Government of India), to be exhibited in Palais-de-Glace, National Museum of Art, Buenos Aires, Gallery Maecel Du-Champ, Belgrano, Salon Pasos-Perdidos, Congreso, Parliament, Argentina, and at Nehru Centre, London. Her latest “Black of the Mind”, a post-trauma, stream-of-consciousness painting-series was shown at Lalit Kala Academy. 

She has been featured in audiovisual channels, newspapers, magazines, journals and anthologies. 

A nonconformist, Nibedita believes in exploring uncharted paths, leading to new challenges, newer sensibilities. Email: [email protected]
