No wonder Indian women fly after getting married; they wish to fulfil all their suppressed desires and dreams. Both the flying birds in the sky and independent women in society attract her a lot." — Sanju Das Sanju Das is a veteran contemporary artist from Bihar. Earlier, she was practising as a Mithila folk artist. From folk art, she entered the world of modern art. Her paintings represent women expressing their dreams, suppressed desires, and lives.
