In a world where art transcends boundaries, SumitaChakravarty, a contemporary artist and curator from Kolkata, India, is creating opportunities for artists to connect, showcase their creativity and gain international visibility. Through her initiative, Chakra V Art Gallery, India, she is building a platform that brings together artists and creative minds from across the world.
Her journey reflects a lifelong passion for art, a commitment to creative expression and a vision of making the art world more accessible through digital platforms.
The Journey Behind the Vision
Art has been an integral part of SumitaChakravarty’s life since childhood. A self-taught contemporary artist based in Kolkata, West Bengal, she has developed her artistic practice primarily through watercolour and acrylic painting.
Her academic background is diverse. She holds a B.Sc. Honours degree in Geography from Presidency College, Kolkata, followed by an M.Sc. in Archaeology from the University of Calcutta. She also pursued a Diploma in Commercial Art, further strengthening her engagement with visual creativity.
Over the years, she has participated in numerous national and international art exhibitions and competitions, showcasing her work in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Goa, Kolkata, Gurugram, Greater Noida and Chandigarh.
Her experiences as an artist gradually inspired her to look beyond individual achievements and create opportunities for fellow artists.
Chakra V Art Gallery: A Vision Beyond Boundaries
Driven by the belief that every artist deserves an opportunity to be seen and appreciated, SumitaChakravarty founded Chakra V Art Gallery, India, an international online art platform dedicated to promoting artists and encouraging global artistic exchange.
The gallery aims to bridge geographical boundaries by bringing artists, photographers and creative professionals together through thoughtfully organised online exhibitions.
Embracing digital possibilities, Chakra V Art Gallery enables artists from different countries to participate in exhibitions without the limitations of physical locations. Its programmes include international solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and art and photography showcases, providing opportunities for both emerging and established creative talents.
Creating Opportunities Through International Exhibitions
One of the gallery’s central objectives is to encourage artistic participation, cultural exchange and recognition.
Chakra V Art Gallery regularly presents international online exhibitions, solo showcases and themed creative events featuring artists from India and various other countries.
From contemporary paintings and photography to digital art and other creative expressions, the platform celebrates diversity in artistic styles and mediums.
Each exhibition introduces participating artists and their creative identities to a wider audience. The gallery also supports artist recognition through promotional features, digital exhibition presentations, certificates and awards associated with its curated events.
The Curator Behind the Platform
As Founder and Curator, SumitaChakravarty is actively involved in conceptualising exhibitions, selecting participating artists, coordinating presentations and developing promotional initiatives.
Her approach combines an artist’s understanding of creative expression with a curator’s vision of presenting diverse artistic voices.
She believes that an art platform should do more than display artworks; it should create opportunities for interaction, appreciation, recognition and professional growth.
Through Chakra V Art Gallery, she continues to encourage artists to explore new opportunities and connect with the international art community.
Building a Global Artistic Community
In an increasingly digital world, online platforms are transforming how art is presented, discovered and appreciated. Chakra V Art Gallery embraces this transformation by utilising digital exhibitions and social media to expand the reach of participating artists.
Its vision extends beyond organising exhibitions. It is about fostering a creative community where artists from different backgrounds and cultures can share perspectives, celebrate achievements and experience meaningful artistic exchange.
For SumitaChakravarty, the gallery represents more than an entrepreneurial initiative. It is an extension of her artistic journey and her desire to contribute to the wider creative community.
Looking Towards the Future
With a growing international outlook, Chakra V Art Gallery aims to expand its exhibition programmes, strengthen global connections and create more opportunities for artists and photographers.
SumitaChakravarty’s journey demonstrates how personal artistic passion can evolve into a platform with a wider purpose.
Her vision is simple yet meaningful: to make art accessible beyond geographical boundaries, provide artists with opportunities for visibility and recognition, and celebrate creativity in all its forms.
Through her artistic journey and the vision of Chakra V Art Gallery, she continues to champion one enduring belief — art has no boundaries, and every creative voice deserves a platform.
