Rajib's subject matter is typified by high rise buildings dwarfing inhabitants that seem to strive to gain an area of freedom however minimal it might be. His sparse palette gives a subtle use of colour which harmonises with the backdrop that is naturally afforded by blank Indian skies. The use of hand made paper gives an underlying raw and rugged tone to his compositions.
