In his own paintings, Krishanu creates work from memory and photographs, 're-imagining' events through editing, simplifying and layering.[5] In one of his painting he explained "My subject matter is often autobiographical, drawing on memories and photographs – particularly of my childhood in Bangladesh. Rather than straight autobiography, I prefer to work with imagery that has open narratives."[6]
