Imdad Barbhuyan is a Delhi-based visual artist and writer who draws inspiration from a multitude of sources including his culture, the ordinary and mundane moments in life, and experiences of loss and grief. Albeit their diverse origins, an air of mystery permeates each of his works, imbuing metaphorical depth and compelling his viewers to become a part of his imaginative world. Barbhuyan, now a well-known artist for his evocative works has shot for names like Hermès, Catbird, Chanel, ‘Malie, and Air France to name a few, alongside features in publications like British Journal of Photography, Vogue Italy, GQ Middle East, AnOther, Paper Journal and more. Stepping into Barbhuyan’s world is an invitation to deep contemplation, where the foreground,  subject, and background harmoniously interact, offsetting each other's important roles, portrayed aptly in one of his personal works titled, ‘I Am The Bed in Your Dreams’. This juxtaposition of the elements and an interplay of natural light draws the viewers into the intricate layers of Barbhuyan’s photographs. Its aftermath is a stirring emotional response - with feelings of melancholia, a deep reminiscence, an intense desire, or an intimate encounter pouring. Another aspect that makes a stark stand out in Barbhuyan’s photos, is his strong affinity for nature, particularly with the delicacy of flowers. Compelling its viewers to forge a deeper connection with the natural world, they emerge as leitmotifs in these personal and commissioned works.
