Harisadhan Dey has travelled a long-way since his student days, capturing the essence of life in common people and fascinated by the beauty of nature; Indian traditions and culture in an unadulterated mode, thus experiencing life in its myriad form and beauty. Dey firmly believes that the physical reflection of one's inner self is reflected through one's face. So, the face with different expressions like peace, tranquillity, innocence always is a great source of inspiration for him. Also, the influence of traditional Indian colour aesthetic and reflection of Hindu spiritual thought inspires him to work within themes close to the masses in rural and folk societies.
