About the Instructor
Trinajit Keisam
Trinajit reminds us a lot of Leo. You know, the guy who built the first helicopter, dissected cadavers and painted that lady called Mona? Him.
Trini draws, paints, sculpts, designs, builds, assembles incredible stuff everyday! Plus he's a brilliant cook, except for those pickles. The radiation levels in Chernobyl are nowhere near those! His graduation project at the College of Fine Art in Bangalore was a realistic sculpture of a life-size girl holding face masks, and his current pre-occupation is with liquid latex and animatronic bodyparts. You get the idea, right?
