A SNEAK PEAK IN MY JOURNEY – FROM ALGORITHMS TO ART-FORMS! I am a computer engineer by professional training. I have had a career in IT sector spanning a decade and a half across multiple MNCs. While I clicked away my time coding and trying to create magic in the matrix of unknowns and tangibles, art continued to fascinate me. Creativity reflected through my subconscious, but I never attentive enough to this intrinsic urge of mine and continually kept denying myself the experience and joy of immersing myself in the field of art. After a while, with many back bending years in my corporate cubicle, I took up pottery as a hobby; to explore my world inside out again. My ceramics journey started with awe of the craft and mostly with joy of being able to create, what has been a milestone invention in human evolution. For more than 10 years, I have been working with clay, out of which the last 5 years have been high speed for me in starting my journey towards sculpture work. I initially started with simple pottery and utilitarian forms and moving to a city like Kolkata was a complete gamechanger for me. Here, I delved more towards the creative elements. I learnt making Terra-cotta murals and sculptures and then moved to high temperature stoneware work. I slowly realised that my work was getting better and demanded more technique and drawing skills. Having no fine-arts background this was becoming challenging and frustrating. I decided to take up formal training in fine arts, to sketch and understand color and design. I think I found the joy of my life in the city of joy!
