Jamini Roy was a Bengali painter. He introduced the famous Bengali folk art of Kalighat Patachitra to the world. Although Jamini Roy was not a Patua herself, she preferred to identify herself as a Patua. Dolls, children, happy and sad pictures of the daily life of the simple people of village Bengal were taken as the 'form' of his pictures. Although he painted pictures in the foreign style at first, later on, the replica of rural Bengal emerged in his pictures. He chose folk culture for his own characteristics and identity. He was proud of his own Bengali culture and ideology. He was invited many times from abroad but never went abroad. Instead, he developed all his talent on the soil of Bengal.
