Even though it is abstract, Haloi's works and his motifs have precise associations with the artist's psyche, his experiences and the upheavals that have shaped him and his point of view. "Everything begins in pain," says Haloi. He maintains high standards craftsmanship and his construction of tress, houses and the ambience of Kolkata that seems murky with a suppressed strength. Some of his unforgettable work includes nature-scapes painted on rice paper.

Ganesh was born in 1936 in Jamalpur village in Mymensingh (now in Bangladesh) and spent much of his childhood. His family came to Calcutta, India in 1950 after the India-Pakistan Partition.[3][4][5]
