Prokash likes to draw or paint birds, horses, man and woman – anything from life around him…His lines are thin or thick depending on the mood to be conveyed. He makes effective use of colour – black for an engrossing darkness or red to indicate blood-spilling as for instance when he depicts strife…He has his own symbolism. He prefers to depict a part like an eye to signify a man. Or, he makes use of green instead of a tree, because a complete depiction would disturb or destroy the overall conception.
