BIO

Art is a universal language that transcends words, weaving emotions and stories that touch the soul and inspire change. I am driven to harness this power to create immersive, meaningful experiences that preserve cultural heritage, foster emotional healing, and drive societal impact. My journey began with painting and studio-based art, and over time, I have gradually moved toward fine arts, graphic design, architectural visualization, and 3D animation. I see my current academic path as a space for learning, exploration, and growth rather than mastery.

My interests lie in how visualization, real-time systems, and immersive environments can support storytelling, education, and cultural understanding. I am particularly curious about XR-based experiences, digital humans, and interactive spaces, and how traditional artistic thinking can inform emerging technologies. I approach these areas as a learner—experimenting, observing, and refining my understanding through practice and collaboration.

Before returning to academia, I worked in creative and design roles that taught me the value of teamwork, communication, and interdisciplinary problem-solving. I value collaboration, feedback, and shared learning, and I am motivated by the belief that meaningful creative work grows through curiosity, humility, and collective effort.

"Why I Create: Art as a Force for Healing, Connection, and Change."

Art, for me, is not just a profession—it’s a language of the soul. It’s how I make sense of the world, process emotions, and connect with others on a profound level. I believe that art has the power to heal, inspire, and transform, and this belief is at the core of everything I create.

My work is driven by a desire to bridge the gap between the past and the future. Through traditional fine art with CG, I aim to preserve cultural heritage, bringing historical figures and artifacts to life in ways that resonate with modern audiences. Through virtual reality (VR) and immersive storytelling, I aim to explore how technology can help us process grief, celebrate diversity, and foster empathy. And through game design, I aim to craft experiences that entertain, educate, and inspire players to see the world in new ways.

Beyond the technical and creative aspects, my work is deeply rooted in a belief in the transformative power of education. By merging traditional fine arts with cutting-edge technologies, I hope to empower the next generation of artists and creators, especially in underrepresented communities. My dream is to establish a world-class CG studio and research center in Bangladesh, where young talents can learn, innovate, and contribute to the global creative industry.

In the end, I do what I do because I believe that art is a force for good. It’s a way to challenge norms, spark conversations, and drive positive change. Whether I’m sculpting a 3D model, designing an immersive VR experience, or teaching a workshop, my goal is always the same: to create work that touches hearts, inspires minds, and leaves a lasting legacy.

My Journey Through Competitive Gaming

I have been playing competitive fighting games such as The King of Fighters and the Street Fighter series for more than two decades, and I have developed a thorough understanding of game mechanics, frame data, complex combos, hitboxes, input systems, bugs, and character matchups. I have devoted a significant portion of my life to competitive gaming, often practising for 12–16 hours each day during tournament seasons. Since 2005, I have earned a reputation as one of the top fighting game players, recognized by my participation in highly competitive online clans such as GGPO, Steam and YZKOF, which consist of top players from across the globe read more

CG Projects and Literature Study

In my observation, only about 5-7% of CG artists can create lifelike 3D likenesses or digital avatars that genuinely capture characters' emotions and fine photographic details. A genuine portrait does more than just provide a high-quality visual output; it brings out the subject's inner emotions and personality. Despite significant advancements in VR, AR, AI, 3D modelling, digital sculpting, 3D scanning, and numerous advanced software tools and graphic engines over the past decade, very few artists can produce super high-quality 3D likenesses. While AI and tools like Meta Human in Unreal Engine 5 offer some automation, they still cannot match the ability of a traditional oil painter or sketch artist who can accurately recreate a person’s likeness based on a description alone. read more

3D likeness Workflow

Creating a hyper-realistic 3D likeness is a meticulous journey that bridges art and technology, resulting in lifelike digital representations that captivate and engage. This blog delves into the step-by-step workflow and pipeline for crafting such likenesses, starting from reference collection to modeling, texturing, rendering, and final integration into virtual reality (VR). By exploring each stage of the process, it highlights the transformative potential of advanced tools and techniques, offering insights into how these workflows contribute to immersive storytelling, emotional connection, and next-generation interactive experiences. read more

Personal Statement and Research Vision

In the cruel grip of the coronavirus pandemic, I was faced with the enormous responsibility of caring for my cancer-survivor pregnant wife, who is also physically disabled, and my ailing mother, who was suffering from kidney failure. The lockdown made matters worse, as I mourned the loss of beloved friends and family members without being able to say our final goodbyes. As an artist, I tried to preserve their memories in my artwork, but I quickly realized that my current painting and 3D skills were insufficient to capture their true character and express my inner emotions. read more

My Fine Arts Journey Through Resilience, Loss, and Purpose

Growing up in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, near the picturesque Brahmaputra River, I was surrounded by a family legacy of academic excellence. My father, mother, and grandfather were all highly educated, and many of my siblings and cousins pursued prestigious careers in medicine, engineering, and the military. It was expected that I would follow a similar path. However, my passion for art was undeniable, even as I initially enrolled in a Bachelor of Business Administration program to meet family expectations. Despite societal norms and family pressures, I made the bold decision to switch to fine arts, a courageous step in a society where a career in the arts is often undervalued. read more

LOOKING AHEAD

I am excited about the future of art and technology and the endless possibilities they offer. I am constantly seeking new ways to innovate, whether through exploring new mediums, developing cutting-edge technologies, or collaborating with artists and researchers from diverse backgrounds. My ultimate goal is to create art that not only pushes the boundaries of what’s possible but also inspires others to see the world in new and exciting ways.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my work. If you share similar interests or are curious about potential collaborations, I’d love to connect with you. Let’s explore how we can create something meaningful together.
