The female is one of the artist's favorite themes. "Most of the time, I live with my woman. She is not my wife, nor my daughter. But it is she I have fashioned out of my dreams, nurtured with my tears. She comes into my art, with my capabilities and shortcomings. I do not do anything to dishonor her, for she is not very different from me." (Bikash Bhattacharjee, Bikash Bhattacharjee Recent Works, Exhibition Catalogue, CIMA Gallery, Calcutta, 1994.)

Bhattacharjee's painting technique is studied and deliberate. "I prefer to lay the dark colours first and then build up the lights and the highlights. This process has helped me to give dimension to my pictures to say what I want to, and also to give the canvas the texture and characters that I desire." (Arany Banerjee, 'Conversations with Artists: Bikash Bhattacharjee', Lalit Kala Contemporary 15, New Delhi, 1973, p. 18.)
