DISCRIPTION OF THE 11 METHODS:-
METHOD NUMBER ONE : -
I applied white glue (fevicol) on a sheet of paper ( paper A) of the size 38 cm x 27 cm. Till now no colours had been applied on this sheet of paper. Now I started making the painting.
I put different colours on this sheet of paper ( paper A) using both my hands simultaneously to save time. Now I artistically mixed these colours with my right hand. Next with the fingers and nails of my right hand I made an artistic abstract drawing by simply moving my fingers and nails on the paper creating white lines as the fevicol and colours got removed from the place where I moved my fingers and nails and the white paper was visible in the from of lines. Then I took another sheet also of the size 38 cm x 27 cm ( paper B ) and put it on the original sheet of paper on which I had made the drawing which is ( paper A) and pressed them together. I lifted up the paper B by separating both the paper A and paper B. The colours and white glue (fevicol) from paper A had been transferred to paper B creating an unbelievably beautiful effect. Paper B is the completed painting and is named as painting number 1. The painting has been completed in 12 seconds. You can see how amazing is the effect. One keeps wondering as to how this kind of a painting could be made and that too in such a less time. White lines are over lapping each other and this effect creates a feeling that this painitng has been painstakingly made over a long period of time. One can easily make at least 100 such wonderful paintings in one day using this novel method of mine. I have not learnt this method from anywhere and it is my own method.
I invented a unique method and strategy to achieve my goal. This novel method is is indeed an extra ordinary achievement.
METHOD NUMBER TWO AND THREE :-
I applied fevicol on a sheet of paper of the size 38 cm x 27 cm.. No colours had been applied on the paper yet. Now I started making the painting. I put lemon yellow colour on the paper and spread it on the whole sheet with my right hand. Then I put yellow ochre colour and spread it on the whole sheet. Like this I put layers of red, magenta and mauve colours one after the other. Now the paper had layers of five colours one above the other namely lemon yellow, yellow ochre, red, magenta and mauve respectively.
Now the paper can be folded in different ways, then crushed and made into a ball and opened to get different effects. These paintings are made in 28 seconds and 27 seconds each respectively.
This is a novel method of painting. I have not learnt it from anywhere and this is my own method. Anybody can easily make at least 30 such paintings in one day using this novel method of mine. I have again invented a unique method and strategy to achieve my goal. This novel method is an extraordinary achievement. The effect is extraordinarily wonderful.
METHOD NUMBER FOUR :-
I applied white glue (fevicol) on a sheet of paper of the size 38 cm x 27 cm ( paper C). Till now no colours have been applied on the paper. Now I started making the painting. I put green and blue colours on this sheet of paper and mixed them artistically with my right hand. Now I crushed this paper, made a ball out of it and then opened it up. Next I made an abstract drawing on this crushed paper with the fingers of my right hand by simply moving my fingers on the crushed paper creating white lines as the fevicol and colours got removed from the place where I moved my fingers and the white paper was visible in the form of white lines. Then I put another paper also of the size 38 cm x 27 cm (paper D) on paper C and pressed them together. Now I lifted paper D by separating both paper C and paper D. Colours and white glue got transferred from paper C to paper D. Paper D is the completed painting. The painting was made in 23 seconds. There is a cracked effect on the painting with lines running through each other. The effect is amazing and unbelievable. Several such paintings can be made in one day. This is a novel method of painting. I have hot learnt it from anywhere. I yet again invented a unique method and strategy to achieve my goal. It is an extraordinary achievement .
METHOD NUMBER FIVE :-
The method number five is very similar to method number one except the following : -
You apply fevicol on the paper ( paper E) of the size 38 cm x 27 cm with your hand. Then you put colors on this paper and mix them artistically. Now you make an artistic abstract drawing with your fingers and nails. Now you have to fold the paper ( paper E) into half. Both the halves of the paper stick to each other. Now you have to open it up and place a paper, also of the size 38 cm x 27 cm, paper F, on paper E and press them together. The colors and fevicol gets transferred from paper E to paper F. Next lift paper F by separating paper E and paper F. Paper F is completed painting and is called painting number 5.
As compared to method number one, in method number five the additional thing you do is the folding and opening of paper E before placing paper F on it. This folding gives an interesting texture to the painting ( painting number 5 ) . The total time it takes to make this painting is 19 seconds. This method is a novel method of mine.
In method number 6 to method number 9 more than one coating of fevicol and water colours is required. The first coating has to be dried up and then the next coating is applied and so on.The actual time I have spent painting has been totaled. The time required for drying of each coating of fevicol and water colours has not been added to the time taken to make the painting. The time taken to actually make the painting is less than minute each in each method, method number six to method number nine.
METHOD NUMBER SIX : -
Take a paper of the size 38 cm x 27 cm ( paper G ) and apply fevicol on it with your hand. Put a little ( please note little quantity of white color ) white color and spread it on paper G with your hand. Now draw an abstract drawing with your fingers and nails by moving the fingers and nails on the paper .
Next take a painting ( painting number 1) made by method number one and place it on paper G. Press them together. Lift painting number 1 by separating painting number 1 and paper G. Painting number 1 now has a second coating of translucent white color and is the completed painting. It is now called painting number 6. Synthetic resin adhesive / white glue (fevicol) becomes transparent on drying and since a little white colour is added it becomes translucent. This creates an interesting effect. The total time I have to actually paint to make this painting is 21 seconds. There are two steps and two coatings of fevicol and water colours on this painting. After application of the first coating it is dried up ( painting number 1 made by method number one) and then second coating is applied and the painting is completed ( painting number 6 ) . The application of the two coatings of fevicol and water colour take 12 and 9 seconds each. This method of painting is a novel method of mine.
METHOD NUMBER SEVEN : -
Take a paper of the size 38 cm x 27 cm ( paper H ) and apply fevicol on it with your hand. Now start painting . Apply sufficient quality of white colour and spread it on paper H with your hand.
Next take a painting ( painting number 1) made by method number one and place it on paper H. Press them together with very little pressure. Lift painting number 1 be separating painting number 1 and paper H.
The painting number 1 (made by method number one ) now has white patches on it and is called painting number 7a .
Now take a paper of the size 38 cm x 27 cm (paper I) and apply fevicol on it with your hand. Now put colours on paper I and mix them artistically. Next draw an abstract drawing on paper I with fingers and nails by moving the fingers and nails on the paper I creating white lines .
Place painting number 7a on paper I . Lift painting number 7a by separating painting number 7a and paper I . Painting number 7a now has three coatings of fevicol and water color and is the completed painting.
This method of painting takes 3 steps creating three coatings of fevicol and water color on the paper.
The total time I have to actually paint to make this painting is approximately seconds . There are 3 steps ( 3 coatings ) of painting. The first step (first coating) takes 12 seconds . The second step (second coating) takes 6 seconds and the third step (third coating) takes 10 seconds . This is a novel method of painting
METHOD NUMBER EIGHT:-
Take a paper of the size 38cm x 27cm (paper J) and apply fevicol on it with your hand . Now start painting. Put colors and mix them artistically with your hand. Now draw an artistic abstract drawing with you fingers and hails by moving you fingers and nails on the paper J creating white lines.Now place a painting (painting number 1) made by method number 1 on paper J and press them together . Now lift painting number 1 by separating painting number 1 and paper J.
Painting number 1 now has a second coating of fevicol and water colours and is the completed painting . It has an interesting effect
The total time I have to actually paint to make this painting is 20 seconds . There are two steps (two coatings of fevicol and watercolor). The two steps takes 12 and 08 seconds respectively . This is a novel method of painting .
METHOD NUMBER NINE:-
Take a paper of the size 38 cm x 27 cm (paper K) and apply fevicol on it with your hand . Now start painting . Put a little white color on the paper and spread it on paper K with your hand. Now fold paper K into half . Both the halves stick to each other . Now open up the folded paper K and place a painting (painting number 5) made by method no five , on it. Press them together and lift painting number 5 by separating painting number 5 and paper K. Painting number 5 now has a second coating of translucent white color with an interesting texture and is the completed painting.
The total time I have to actually paint to make the painting is 29 seconds. There are two steps (two coatings of fevicol and water colour). The first step, method number five takes 19 seconds and the second coating takes 10 seconds . This is also a novel method of mine.
METHOD NUMBER TEN :-
Take a paper of the size 38 cm x 27 cm (Paper L) and apply fevicol onit withyou hand. Now start painting. Put colours on paper L and mix them artistically with your hand. Now with the fingers and nails of your right hand make an artistic abstract drawing on paper L by simply movi9ng the fingers and nails on paper L creating white lines. The painting is complete. This is a novel method as fevicol is not mixed with colours before painting and instead a coating of fevicol is applied on the paper first which helps you create the white lines. The total time I actually painted to complete this painting was 11 seconds.
METHOD NUMBER ELEVEN :-
Take a painting ( painting number 1) made by method Number 1. Apply fevicol on it with your hand. Now start painting. Put a little white colour and mix it with the fevicol. Now with the fingers and nails of your right hand make an artistic drawing by simply moving the fingers and nails on the paper revealing the painting below. The white colour is added in less quantity so that it becomes translucent on drying. This is novel method of painting. There are two steps in the painting. Step 1 (making of painting by method number 1 ) takes 12 second and step 2 takes 14 seconds.

ABOUT MY UNUSUAL ART : DETAILED INTERVIEW FOLLOWS :-
“Parijoy Saha, the world’s fastest painter with five artistic world records, creates unique paintings using only his fingers, nails and palms. His art techniques combine speed, creativity and spiritual discipline. This post explains one of his signature painting innovations.”
Go through my blog https://teachingsofparijoy.blogspot.com for my teachings. I am a brahmagyani tapasvi, an enlightened guru and spiritual leader.
My art is the creation of beautiful, attractive, wonderful, interesting and visually appealing paintings using only my nails, fingers and palms and I do not use paint brushes to create these paintings. I use white glue and water colours to create my art. Very recently I have started using sand as well.
Today I am 44 years of age. But when I was child I was taught to copy cards and sketch things I see in nature like leaves, human beings etc. Today I do not like painting or sketching what already exists in nature i.e what I have seen in this world but instead I love to see new things getting created through my hands, things that I have never seen before, things that did not exist in this world before. My works are not replication of nature.
Instead I am a part of nature gifted with creativity, creativity which again as I have observed in my case is some thing that flows mostly naturally without much of effort, thinking or planning.
Before a painting of mine gets completed I mostly have no idea what it is going to look like. I actually rejoice every time a wonderful work is created by me. I rejoice wondering how such a self appealing work got created by me. I feel every work of art created by me is a gift of God to me, because my works appear to me more to happen to get created on their own than through my actual own planning. I many times do not plan how I am going to proceed and I do whatever I feel like doing, sometimes out of impulse.
My methods of painting using nails, fingers and palms are novel. I started my novel finger painting in 1995-96 and it has evolved with time particularly in the recent past.I have not learnt the methods from anywhere. Today my methods include taking impressions, folding and crushing, dripping to get variety of effects and results.
When white glue which I use dries up, it becomes transparent and if you add a very small quantity of water colour to it, it becomes translucent when it dries up. I have used this property to create very interesting works. Also when white glue dries up it gives a raised effect, thus textures get created and recently I have been using sand with white glue as well to get some interesting textures.
I myself cannot reproduce my paintings on my own using the same methods and therefore they are unique.
I do expect to keep on experimenting and coming up with newer methods of creating art with fingers, nails & palm.
I do not have an art background, i.e. an art degree / diploma and this leaves me with no other choice but to end up experimenting, doing and learning. The whole thing about painting with nails, fingers and palm started with an experiment and fearless experimentations are still on.
I remember the first drawing competition I participated at my Convent of Jesus and MarySchool in Ambala. I was studying in KG and I drew a flower vase with flowers. I kept on making flowers and at a certain stage everything looked nice. But I was not satisfied, there was the urge to experiment, and I went on to make still more flowers till I ended up making a wonderful looking bright picture of flowers with a small vase. I was not contended with what I made but I received the first prize. The urge to experiment without fear of loss seems to have been within me since then only because I want to do better and probably want to experiment more to learn more.
Nobody taught me how to make sculptures but yet again it was experimentation, the automatic right moves, right pressures applied and the right angles at which I ended up carving that helped me become a sculptor. I used to pick up stones from the back yard of my ArmyPublic School in New Delhi and make sculptures with them. I have also made Plaster of Paris sculptures. However while a student at the Welcom group graduate school of hotel administration, Manipal I learnt how to make pumpkin, water melon, salt dough, gelatine and thermocole carvings. I still sometime do professional fruit carving. I have done some professional set / prop designing for stage shows of Aishwarya Rai and others along with Vikram Phadnis as the choreographer of those shows.
I used to sketch portraits when I was young. But now I intend to do only nail, finger and palm painting as this is most satisfying than all my other artistic abilities.
When I was young I appreciated the beauty of nature and also felt that God is the greatest artist.
I believe that He has made all the beautiful things in nature. He has made the beauty of beautiful flowers and butterflies which sometimes seemed to me as unparalleled.
Seeing the huge world, the distant sky and when I compared the possible difference in the physical size of my body and that of the universe, I could imagine how powerful the creator of this universe i.e. God must be and also realized how small I was compared to God. Now I started praying to God that I wanted to become like his loved son and I wanted to be a good human being, living for others good i.e. I wanted to do charity etc.
Years later I started praying to God that I wanted to become according to his desire which meant that everything that I do should be what God wants me to do.
My creation of paintings seems to be blessed by God and my actions happen to appear to be just right and just as they were meant to be, everything falling into place till the right painting gets created.
From start to end of making a painting it is a puzzle which seems to get solved on its own with me sometimes ending up doing the right things automatically ( doing the right things by chance) and with me sometimes ending up taking the right decisions. Mostly I am surprised and appreciate what gets created because I personally mostly find the outcome wonderful.
My paintings have no title since they have no meaning. But as I said before they are attractive, wonderful, interesting, beautiful and visually appealing things which I think can too be used as a decoration on walls like any other painting with a title or a meaning.
I have received a lot of appreciation for my work. But some people do look for a meaning in my art. Few also do find some meanings. But however there is no meaning intended.
A child who sees a beautiful flower for the first time likes it and wants it because the flower generates interest and liking in the child. The child does not know that this beautiful thing that he is attracted to is called the flower but however he wants it only because he is attracted towards it.
Similarly people get attracted towards my paintings even if they do not find any meaning in it.
Only music played from instruments without any lyrics too have no meaning but we do like it.
This art is my profession. I love it. But one tough thing about it is washing my palms covered with white glue every time I complete my work.
Truly speaking I paint for myself though this is also my profession. I do not paint by observing what sells in the market. But I choose to paint what I like and that gives pleasure. I am not ready to sell a painting unless I am completely satisfied with the creation. I try to work further on what is not satisfying enough and in the process, it can get further deteriorated or wasted , but at times some get converted to wonders.
I believe that only a creation that I am contended with will be liked. If I am not contended how can I show such a work to someone, leave aside sell.
ABOUT MY UNUSUAL ART – DETAILED INTERVIEW
My art is the creation of beautiful, visually striking and completely unique paintings, made only with my fingers, nails and palms.
I do not use brushes—my hands are the medium.
My materials are simple: white glue, watercolours, and sometimes sand for texture.
🌟 A Creative Journey Rooted in Experimentation
Ever since childhood, creativity came naturally to me.
I copied greeting cards, sketched what I saw around me, and enjoyed experimenting.
But as I evolved as an artist, I realized something important:
I no longer wanted to paint what already exists.
I wanted to create what has never been seen before.
My paintings are not replicas of nature—they are new realities brought into existence through spontaneous creativity.
🎨 The Magic of Spontaneous Creation
When I paint, I rarely know what the final work will look like.
I let intuition guide my hands.
Colours mix on their own, textures rise on their own, and the painting reveals itself as I work.
Every completed artwork surprises me.
It feels like a gift from God, emerging almost effortlessly and perfectly timed.
🌿 My 11 Novel Bare-Hand Painting Methods
I started experimenting in 1995.
By 2007, I had invented 11 unique painting techniques using:
Finger impressions
Nail strokes
Crushing and folding
Layered glue textures
Translucent glazing
Sand + glue textures
These techniques allow me to complete extraordinary paintings in less than 30 seconds each.
The raised textures and translucent colour effects are created by the properties of white glue when it dries.
✨ Art Without Meaning, Yet Full of Feeling
My paintings do not have titles because they are not meant to depict a specific meaning.
Just like a child who loves a flower without knowing its name, people enjoy my paintings because they are:
Beautiful
Colorful
Emotional
Visually powerful
Similarly, instrumental music without lyrics is meaningful simply because it feels good.
My art works the same way.
🌟 Unique, Irreproducible Paintings
Each painting is one-of-a-kind.
Even I cannot recreate the same artwork again because:
glue spreads differently each time
colours react differently
pressure of the hands changes
folding patterns vary
This makes my work exclusive and completely original every single time.
📚 My Artistic Background
I do not have a formal art degree.
Everything I know has come from fearless experimentation.
Over the years I have also created:
stone sculptures
Plaster of Paris works
fruit carvings
vegetable carvings
stage set designs (including for Aishwarya Rai)
But my heart belongs to finger, nail and palm painting.
🙏 Divine Inspiration Behind My Art
From a young age, I felt deeply connected to God and His creation.
The vastness of the universe made me feel small yet inspired.
I prayed:
“God, make me according to Your desire.”
Today, when my hands move automatically during painting, I feel it is His blessing guiding my creativity.
🎨 Professional Commitment to Pure Creativity
I do not paint what sells in the market.
I paint what gives me joy.
Only when I am satisfied with a painting do I consider it complete.
If I am unhappy with a work, I experiment further—even if it gets spoiled.
Sometimes it transforms into something even more beautiful.
This is the price and the reward of true creativity.
