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 !!
