Born in Kolkata in the year 1958 and completed his graduation from Government College of Arts and crafts Kolkata in the year 1982.

Sanjay’s first inspiration was the Phantom. Sanjay’s figurative images are quite close to those found in the works of the Dutch realist painters or the French 18th century painters.

Either oil paintings or watercolours, what has really inspired most of Sanjay’s works are the inner and outer realities evoked by architectural elements. Like old, vacant houses.

A lot of his paintings are of the lower middle class families, who are not really heartbreakingly poor, but almost on the edge.

Along with homes and families, Sanjay’s work consists of realistic portraiture. Besides homes and portraits, Sanjay’s paintings are all about Calcutta. His total involvement with the streets of Calcutta comes through on his canvas. There is Calcutta decaying, Calcutta the city of dilapidated palaces of the 19th century rich, Calcutta of the faded British grandeur

Sanjay lives and works in Delhi
