Sreyash Sarkar Biography

Sreyash Sarkar is an Indian Bengali poet, musician, painter and engineer (born 20 September 1993) . Sarkar has been published in international literary journals[4][5][6] and has been featured as the youngest achiever, in the field of poetry in Education World Magazine and in the French world magazine, Le Mauricien among others.
Sarkar's works, as reviewed in The Galway Review and Red River Review, represents an endearing world of 'some basic formal truths'.

Le Mauricien goes on to comment that,

Sarkar thus delimits a position apart in the debate on the question of representation and brings up 'some basic formal truths' in pictorial space. The reflexive space, the powerful creations are not synonymous with anarchy. It is about safeguarding the autonomy of artistic creation and affirming a critical attitude towards the present world. Sarkar seems to question all objectivity in art, to approach the work as such, the expression of a search.[In his works] We see the misuse of motives, a short prosodic structure, a dry recitative and a rhythmic pattern constitutive of an intimate rumination, the effect of distancing and the search for an intimate cohesion.

In an interview for Arty Legume, he had indicated his principal poetic influences to be Rabindranath Tagore, Rainer Maria Rilke, Arthur Rimbaud & Sylvia Plath, who taught him, poetic restraint and the 'economy of balance'.
