Sanjoy Kumar Das was born in India, Meghalaya and he presently has a studio in Surrey, BC Canada. Sanjoy is a Professional Artist and an Intern Architect specializing in custom residences. He works in various mediums - oil, watercolor, pen & ink, airbrush. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and is a Certified Instructor for Design. Sanjoy has had a solo Art show in Tsawassen Art Centre, and participated in group exhibitions at the Surrey Art Gallery and Port Moody Art Centre. He frequently holds art workshops. He had absolutely no idea that when he boarded a train to Mumbai to pursue Architecture, he was actually taking the first steps into a direction of healing and self-awareness. It was years later that it dawned upon him that his area of study and practice of architecture and art were the mediums that propelled him towards healing and the exploration of the nature of the self. Sanjoy’s work is intuitive in nature and done spontaneously. Sanjoy also does landscapes, figurative, surrealism, abstract paintings and graphic novel art. Creating art makes Sanjoy alert and present, enabling him to live in the moment. His objective is to bring this heightened sense of awareness into his art and everyday life and share this experience with the onlooker. Once he has an idea, he tries to find the best possible way to express it in form through various media such as drawing, painting, or sculpture, and sometimes even combination of all three. His Art is a culmination of study, practice and meditation on the effect of sound and colour/light and prayer on the human body. Sanjoy has made an attempt to express his experience through his art and writing.
