Ferdousy’s ability to discover and communicate the ineffable splendour of driftwood, cinder and dried weed, her long quest to interpret the natural forms of discarded objects in terms of real-life characters has given birth to a new genre of art in Bangladesh. Her deep compassion for the insignificant, the feeble, the ignored and the discarded lends her art great dignity and poeticism.
A freedom-fighter and social activist Ferdousy Priyabhashini (b. 1948) is a distinguished figure in the field of art in Bangladesh. She was awarded the Ekushey Padak in 2009.
