In 2015, Manash decided to pursue his master’s degree at H. P. University in Shimla, a decision fueled by his deep desire to immerse himself in the stunning natural beauty that the region has to offer. He wanted to go to Shimla for his further studies because he believed that learning directly from nature would provide him with a unique perspective that traditional classrooms could not. During the course, he embarked on several trekking adventures, equipped with all the necessary camping gear, which allowed him to explore the majestic landscapes surrounding the university. Each trek was an opportunity for him to discover hidden trails and breathtaking views, as well as to connect with the essence of the mountains. He traveled all over Himachal Pradesh, interacting with local people, learning about their cultures, and observing the intricate balance between nature and human life in the region. These experiences not only enriched his academic journey but also shaped his understanding of the environment and strengthened his resolve to promote sustainable practices in the future.
His painting has evolved significantly during this period, showcasing a profound transformation that reflects not only his artistic journey but also the emotional depth he brings to his work. The sincerity with which he approached each canvas has inspired his peers, fostering a sense of camaraderie among those who admire his dedication to the craft. He was mostly into landscapes throughout the entire course, capturing the essence of nature with a unique perspective that invites viewers into his world. He was accustomed to his own momentum, working tirelessly with diligence, often losing track of time as he immersed himself in the play of light and color, resulting in pieces that resonate deeply with those who experience them. His commitment to honing his skills and expressing his vision has carved a special niche for him within the art community.
He has made lots of sketches and scribbles during the course, capturing the essence of his creative journey. His spontaneity in his sketches and his ability to show complex emotions are evident in the scribbles he made, often reflecting the various moods and inspirations of the moment. Each piece serves as a visual diary, showcasing his growth and experimentation, where vivid lines intertwine with abstract shapes to convey feelings that words sometimes fail to express. Furthermore, these sketches act as a bridge between his inner thoughts and the external world, inviting viewers to interpret the stories behind each stroke.
