Ronnie-Habib, lives and works in Paris, was born and spent his young age in the heart of downtown Dhaka, a metropolis where Anglo-American culture stands as a dominant presence, coexisting with local cultural traditions.

Throughout his youth, he was first captivated by the powerful rhythms of Western music groups, long before becoming familiar with the traditional ‘Baoul’ melodies that resonated in his environment. His art school in Dhaka rigorously followed an academic curriculum influenced by British educational system where he copied European old masters to develop the skill. This is why the artist doesn't feel ashamed to adapt the Occidental painting process to develop his visual language. Originally a ceramist, he discovered the power of oil painting by visiting museums and exhibitions in France. 

 

He obtained a B.F.A from Dhaka University where he studied drawing and ceramics and has a 1st class in Master in Contemporary Art and Creation from the School of Art Pantheon Sorbonne University, in 2017. He was selected as a tutor for screen print studio from 2016 to 2017 while he was studying at Pantheon Sorbonne. 

 

He was the youngest artist selected at the 13th Asian Art Biennale in 2008 and the 18th National Art Exhibition of Bangladesh in 2009. 

 

Ronnie-Habib regularly participates in Art contest and exhibit his works. As a result, he had a chance to exhibit his painting in a group show in the Museum of Varsovie, Poland, and Laureate of ARTENSION price in 2022.
