Originally from India, the land of mysticism and magic, Srinjoy was born into a family of artists. Growing up in an expansively creative environment, he realized from a very young age that he was born to be an artist. Srinjoy has traveled the world from East to West from an early age. He has worked in the design and animation industry. Srinjoy has professionally worked under the tutelage of many renowned modern, street, and pop artists including the internationally famous and critically acclaimed artist Craig Alan. The overarching pursuit of Srinjoy's work is examining the theme of 'Utopia' in a contemporary context through map and model making. His influence range from Pop Culture to Deep Ecology. At times, his work simply holds a mirror to reflect the contemporary experience. In other instances, the art takes the viewer to into an alternative world. The Utopian impulse explores the tension between the extreme desire to materialize the ideal and, on the other hand, the infinite possibility of conceiving the perfect imagination. Srinjoy's work also consists of re-imagining Utopian pasts of imagining alternative realms.
