Sanjay Gupta put a pause on his passion for painting to pursue banking, and a few years back, returned to his craft full time.

"Over time, the memory of an object or an experience morphs into an image in which certain aspects get more prominence than the others. And if the image remains strong and vivid over time and also happens to be about a happy experience, I try to transpose it on to a canvas. I do not take photos, nor do I go back to look at the objects again...I prefer to paint the image that is in my mind. Consequently, the elements that leave a stronger impression on my mind are more enhanced than others in my works."

A contemporary artist, Sanjay lives and works in Hong Kong.
