Inspiration can strike us from any number of sources. It could be what we see and experience within the world around us, influences from other creators, or experimenting with different techniques and materials, to name just a few. Some artists possess an enviable skill: the ability to visualise a concept from scratch in their minds, building up their creation without needing to touch any software or materials. One such artist with this impressive capability is Surajit Sen.
What's the aim of your artwork? What are you trying to achieve?
To express my thoughts without any compromise! It's challenging to express our own thoughts or concepts this way, and not only digital media. I'm trying to create sculptures exactly as I see them in my vision. When I start my work, I first close my eyes and collect all of my ideas from every perspective, then work on it. These are all my references. When I'm done with my creation, I then check back with my thoughts. If I get the exact output that's in my mind then I finish my work. This is my achievement.
"IT'S VERY CHALLENGING TO EXPRESS OUR OWN THOUGHTS WITHOUT COMPROMISE... I'M TRYING TO CREATE SCULPTURES EXACTLY AS I SEE THEM IN MY VISION
How do you come up with the concepts for your art? Many pieces of your work seem centred around a horror aesthetic. What inspires these?
Creatures are my core subject as well as my main interest. You can see that every sculpture wants to say something, and is carrying messages and information. Maybe it's horror or science fiction, or perhaps some hidden message.

HOW DO I MASTER MATERIALS IN KEYSHOT?
One of the best things about KeyShot is its ability to create and render realistic materials. When paired with beautiful lighting, product visualisations take on a whole new level of believability. When it comes to materials, KeyShot isn’t quite as advanced as some other rendering packages, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still able to create some killer materials.
