                      I am Sanjay Desai living in Pune, India. I have no formal training in the field of
                      art but I was fortunate to connect and interact with a number of great artists
                      working  in  various  styles  and  mediums.  Trained  as  an  engineer,  I  put  in  35
                      years in engineering design. I started painting early in my school days and
                      continued till 1994.

                      During that period I had a number of group and solo exhibitions in Pune and
                      Mumbai. Then there was a pause which lasted for 20 years! In 2014 after
                      getting  into  a  semi-retired  phase  I  started  to  paint  again.  I  think,  on  a
                      subconscious  level  the  purpose  of  early  semi-retirement  was  to  go  back  to
                      painting. Now I am back to 10-15 paintings a week.

                      As an artist I don't like to confine myself to a style, medium or technique. I
                      keep  on  trying  different  things.  I  definitely  would  not  like  to  get  into  a
                      situation where I start looking for subjects to suit my style and technique. But I
                      also believe, to break the rules, one has to first learn the rules.

                      My  goal  is  to  travel,  paint,  interact  with  artists  and  enjoy  the  whole
                      experience. Hopefully !!
