Sreyash Sarkar, is a poet, a qualified painter, a practising Hindustani Classical musician and an aspiring researcher in Applied Physics. Educated in Kolkata, Bangalore, and Paris, he has been a student correspondent at The Statesman, Kolkata, from his school, South Point. In 2012, in an international poetry competition organised in the memoir of Yeats, his poem was shortlisted among 40 other poets from all over the world. Having been nominated and won a plethora of literary and art prizes, his interview was published in “The Arty Legume”, where he was asked to speak on cubism, existentialism in art and intrusion in a painting. He has been extensively featured in “Five Poetry Magazine”, “Muses”, “El Portal”, “Tagore for us”, “The Country Cake-Stall”, “The Orange Orchard,” etc. His interviews on his subjective views of art have appeared in Little Chambers Press, JuxtapozLive, Artesthetica Magazine, The Gooseberry Bushes, and Swanspace magazine, among others. He is the youngest ‘polymath’ to be featured in Education-World Magazine for his outstanding achievements. His musical compositions have been part of cinematic scores and have been orchestrated widely. In 2016, the famed pianist Valentina Igoshina offered to work with him after having listened to his ‘Sea-shore of Time,’ and he has also been closely working with famed world musician Jean Philippe Rykiel. He is currently working with several musicians to bring out his album, ‘Echoes of an Era,’ which features 12 compositions based on each month. Besides being a freelance writer and an associate editor for several magazines, he is the editor-in-chief of Kalomer Kalomishak, a bilingual magazine, which he founded in 2013. He currently divides his time between Kolkata, Paris and Prague, where he is currently a researcher in Applied Nano-Optics.

Sarkar’s interdisciplinary work merges art, music, and science, drawing on his roots and his studies across continents. His perspective on artistry—distinguishing himself as a "technician"—reflects his nuanced approach to creating art, where he emphasises method over artistic self-designation. His recent painting, Roots, part of the Bloom exhibit at Awakenings Art Gallery, delves into themes of survival, using layered techniques to explore abuse's complexities. Sarkar continues to work on diverse projects, including a musical collaboration with refugee children and an upcoming exhibition on the theory of hatred.
