Born in 1999 in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, Digvijay is a young contemporary artist whose practice probes the fleeting, often strange nuances of everyday human behavior. A postgraduate in printmaking from MSU Vadodara, he transforms memories, stories, and observations into evocative visual narratives that blur the line between reality and imagination.
His work has earned significant early recognition, including Hyundai India’s Art for Hope grant (2021–22), the Prafulla Dahanukar Kalanand Merit Award (2022), and the Nasreen Mohammedi Scholarship (2019–20). He has exhibited at venues such as Jehangir Art Gallery, Bikaner House, and the MVA Degree Show, and participated in platforms like the Kochi-Muziris Students’ Biennale. Workshops in lithography, non-toxic printmaking, and multiple print mediums have further expanded his technical range across viscosity, woodcut, etching, lithography, oil, and graphite.
Rooted in personal and collective memory, Digvijay’s imagery draws from sketchbooks, conversations, photographs, and fleeting encounters to evoke emotions like nostalgia, anxiety, and longing. His ongoing series, Bandwallas, juxtaposes heritage architecture from his hometown with local musicians, exploring themes of cultural inheritance, ownership, and the living histories of cities. His evolving practice continues to offer emotionally rich, thought-provoking reflections on the human experience.
