My name is Tanjim Chowdhury. I am an artist originally from Bangladesh, now based in Rennes, France. Through this blog, I share my encounters with artworks, artists, architectural wonders, craft tutorials, and the cultural journeys that shape my practice.

What you will find here​

The blog is organised into six thematic sections:

• Artists — Essays and reflections on artists I admire, from Ai Weiwei to Van Gogh, from SM Sultan to El Anatsui.
• Architecture — Explorations of buildings that move me: the National Assembly of Bangladesh, the Guggenheim Bilbao, forgotten heritages of Chittagong.
• Crafts & DIY — Step-by-step tutorials for handmade flowers, linocut, etching, tote bags, jewellery, and more.
• Heritage & Culture — Reflections on Bengali traditions, cultural memory, and the art of everyday life.
• Exhibitions — Notes from exhibitions I have visited or participated in, from public art installations to gallery shows.
• Journeys — Personal encounters: Erasmus in Dresden, volunteering at the Festival of Games, my first tour of Rennes.

"Through art and craft, we weave the threads of our dreams."​

This tagline is the spirit of Feuille Obscure. Art is not a luxury — it is a way of understanding the world, honouring memory, and connecting across cultures.

I hope you find something here that resonates with you.
