“THE CLONE WITHIN” by Debajyoti Roy – Original Mixed Media Artwork (Acrylic, Ink & Charcoal on Handmade Paper)

“THE CLONE WITHIN”, the title piece of Debajyoti Roy's renowned The Clone Within series, is a thought-provoking masterpiece that delves into the psychological complexities of identity, detachment, and inner fragmentation. Handcrafted on premium handmade paper, the artwork presents a juxtaposition of a stretched, reclining form above a stark red divide, with abstracted figures and a blood-hued sun below, symbolizing the emotional residue of replication and the struggle for authenticity in a world of synthetic selves.

The use of charcoal, red acrylic, and ink strokes creates striking textural contrasts, bringing to life the duality of existence and the tension between the inner self and its external manifestations. The red dot and horizontal rupture line serve as symbolic motifs, reflecting the themes of separation and the psychological fractures inherent in contemporary life.
