Vinayak Sarwankar is a Mumbai-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the fluid intersections of memory, identity, and the passage of time. Drawing from personal history and childhood recollections, he creates evocative paintings where abstraction and recognizable forms coexist, capturing fleeting emotions through layered textures and symbolic narratives. His work is driven by an inquiry into nostalgia and impermanence, reflecting on how memory is constructed, fragmented, and preserved over time.

Working primarily with acrylic on archival MDF wood, he embraces the material for its smooth and durable surface, allowing for both traditional techniques and experimental mark-making. Through intricate layering and expressive compositions, his practice creates a dialogue between past and present, inviting viewers to reconnect with their own personal and collective memories.

A graduate of Raheja School of Art, Sarwankar holds The Government Diploma in Art (G.D. Art). He has participated in several exhibitions, steadily establishing his presence within the contemporary art scene. In 2025, he was selected for Fresh Produce, Method’s annual group exhibition for emerging artists, and was presented at Art Mumbai 2025.
