His practice is rooted in memories of his grandmother’s weaving, inspiring a layered approach to colour, texture, and perspective. Through acrylic paintings that echo the tactile quality of woven fabrics, he reinterprets everyday scenes to reveal their quiet beauty and connect personal memory with broader social narratives. Aman’s art seeks to inspire reflection by seeking beauty in the mundane. By utilising research gathered from his diverse travels, Aman's practice draws from his observations of nature, everyday life, and socio-cultural realities.
Aman Kumar lives and works in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India.
