"My paintings are like a personal diary of my days in France and the influences." Jayashree Chakravarty has developed her own personal style, drawing on inspiration from the French impressionists and Byzantine mosaic design.

Chakravarty says that her paintings, either ink on paper or oils, have the feel of a dream about them. She believes that relating to human beings of a distant country and a different culture has expanded the horizons of her imagination and forced certain pre-conceived images to change.

In her works, she uses superimposed forms, quite like the sketches that cave painters worked on before they mapped them on the walls of caves. Her imagery, because of her fluid and transparent images, reflect the present mood of the world, which is fluid in itself. At a mere conventional and figurative level, her works reflect the unity of man with nature.

Some motifs constantly recur in her paintings --- dogs, waves and serried crescent shapes. Influenced by post-modernist painters, each of her canvas seems to embrace the entire gamut of colors that range from blues to even purple.
