I have
been working persistently as a visual artist and art teacher for a long time. In
terms of educational qualification, I have completed BFA(Homours) and MFA
degree in Drawing and Painting Department from Dhaka University. In the BFA
exam I stood first class first in position with merit by getting the highest
marks among in the faculty. I got 1st class first in position
in Masters also.
For a
long time I have been working and researching in elite medium like oil paint.
Despite the worldwide prevalence of this medium, reading fungi is a common
problem. Which is a hindrance in its practice. I have developed my own method
to eliminate that. Through this, those working on this media and its collectors
will be able to preserve it very easily.
Besides,
I have been involved in various levels of education for a long time. I worked
as lecturer in Barisal Cadet College from 2014 to 2015 and as assistant
teacher in Agrani School and College from 2015 to 2018 for more than 3 years.
Form joined as a lecturer in 2018, currently I am working as an assistant
professor in drawing and painting discipline in Khulna University.
