What Our Customer Say

Pervesh Tiwari

Bismita’s paintings radiate a sense of calm and positivity. There’s something deeply natural and soothing about her art, the kind that instantly lifts your mood. Each piece feels like a breath of fresh air, gentle on the eyes and full of good energy. Her work doesn’t just decorate a space, it transforms it into a peaceful sanctuary. I purchased few of paintings of her and they’ve brought such a natural, calming presence into my home.

I am extremely lucky to own one of the first Buddha paintings by Bismita Aruk. The serenity of the meditating Buddha is captured in white paint on a black canvas. It creates a profound sense of peace and stillness as if the painting is guiding the mind to be quiet and meditative. She is inviting the observer to the spaces in between the white and black, in between light and shadow and let the mind do its trick. I believe, Bismita Aruk is a gifted artist who honed her skill over the years with her training tradition Tibetan painting aswell.

It’s my pleasure to share my experience with Bismita’s art. I’ve bought 5 of her paintings, and I deeply connected with each one. You can truly feel the calm, relaxed, and meditative energy in her work — it radiates positivity. I also participated in one of her meditative painting retreats and really enjoyed the process. It allowed me to express my feelings and emotions through colors on paper. Bismita herself is so calm, focused and full of peaceful energy. I truly appreciate her dedication and hardwork. Wishing her blessings and continued success in her beautiful journey

I’ve always been drawn to Bismita’s artwork, especially her intricate black and white compositions. Her attention to detail and the depth of emotion in each piece are truly captivating. I recently purchased a beautiful painting of Lord Jagannath for my mother, who is a devoted follower and she was deeply moved by it. Bismita’s art not only reflects technical mastery but also carries a spiritual essence that resonates deeply. Her work is a treasure and I look forward to adding more pieces to my collection.

Attending the mandala art workshop with Ms. Bismita Aruk was an incredibly enriching experience. Her gentle guidance and warm energy created a peaceful space where creativity flowed effortlessly. She has a beautiful way of making each participant feel seen and supported, regardless of their artistic background. Through her workshop, I not only learned the intricate patterns of mandala art but also discovered a deeper sense of calm and mindfulness. It was more than just an art session, it was a journey inward.

“Working with Bismita to obtain several of her prints for a small import business idea of mine here in the U.S. has been an easy and straightforward process. She is very open to collaborating with her clients to help achieve their goals with her artwork. Our transaction process was relatively smooth, prints arrived immediately after ordering and her artwork speaks for itself of course!”

It was an amazing session on ‘Mandala Art,’ which greatly benefited our teachers and therapists in working with our students of determination. This art therapy practice will help improve the attention and concentration of students with autism and intellectual disabilities. All our special educators and therapists have started practicing this.They are also benefiting from it by relieving stress, understanding their emotions, and embracing the art form.
