The deepest impact on Sanjay Kumar Raj has been, he professes, the experience of having grown up in tender rural climes and having lived amidst nature, observing its elements in all their splendour, from the creativity of the changes of forms and shades, to its softness and nurturing warmth — and then acknowledging the brutal assault the world has mounted on this very truth.

The irreversible damages caused by indiscriminate modernisation, pollution, use of resources and the resultant natural calamities and their impact on the most disenfranchised communities is a reality that lies at the very core of the art created by Sanjay. Expertly using watercolours, pen ink, Fevicol and more on paper and canvases, he brings to life surreal, highly symbolic and esoteric pieces that draw the viewer into a wonderland of interpretation. In his art, Sanjay addresses pressing contemporary issues such as limitless construction, modernisation, climate change, global warming, and pollution. These concerns, heightened by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, form the core of his creative expression. Through his paintings, he seeks to depict the profound effects these issues have on our environment and ecosystem.
