He is married to French painter Maite Delteil.[1] His extended family includes several eminent artists: his daughter, Maya Burman also lives and works in France; his niece, Jayasri Burman was inspired by him and is a notable artist in her own right; as is his niece's husband, Paresh Maity.

A painter and lithographer, Burman's art has mythic and fantasy content and rich colors.
