Biography
[edit]Burman was born in Lot et Garrone, France and brought up in France. She initially trained as an architect, but later began painting.[2] She works mainly in pen and ink, and watercolor. This spontaneous media encourages her to create series of works, because overworking or reworking each painting with new ideas is difficult.[2] She has had exhibitions of her work in India, France, and the UK.[citation needed]
She is the youngest member of an extended family of artists: her father, Sakti Burman (from Kolkata) and French mother Maite Delteil, are both prominent artists,[1] as are her cousin, Jayasri Burman and Jayasri's husband, Paresh Maity.
