Jayanta Roy is a visual artist and photographer based in Kolkata, India. His work sits at the intersection of memory, landscape, and everyday life, shaped by places where uncertainty quietly lingers. Through photography, he explores the emotional gap between what is seen and what is remembered, often focusing on moments that feel suspended in time rather than resolved.
Over the past several years, Roy has built a sustained body of work through long-term engagement with regions such as Kashmir and the Indian Himalayas.
His practice continues to evolve between reportage and visual art, shaped more by persistence and lived experience than by institutional recognition.
In recent years, his work has expanded beyond the camera into early photographic printing processes such as cyanotype. This hands-on experimentation reflects his interest in materiality, impermanence, and how images age, fade, and endure.
