Shrikant creates contemporary reinterpretations of traditional Indian miniatures, which he fractures through shards of mirror, pixelation, glitches, and digital interruptions. These disruptions reflect how memory functions today as a layered, unstable, and refracted phenomenon. By reimagining kings, queens, and myths as fading manuscripts, his work explores how old stories are rewritten through the lens of technology, distortion, and personal memory.
Shrikant lives and works in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
