Shrikant Puranik is a multidisciplinary artist based in Mumbai, whose practice spans fine art, poetry, and theatre. With a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, his work explores the intersection of visual language, narrative, and human experience. His artistic approach is rooted in experimentation, where mixed media, drawing, and painting converge to create evocative and thought-provoking compositions. His fine art series often engages with themes of memory, perception, time, and existential inquiry. Through layered textures and abstract forms, Puranik constructs visual spaces that invite contemplation and emotional engagement. His works balance the tangible and the intangible, creating a dialogue between material presence and inner psychological landscapes. Alongside his visual practice, Puranik is an active writer of poetry and short stories in Marathi, Hindi, and English. His poems reflect a lyrical sensitivity to everyday experiences, often navigating silence, solitude, and the complexity of human relationships. The written word becomes an extension of his visual language, offering another dimension through which ideas and emotions unfold. His engagement with theatre further expands his interdisciplinary practice. As a drama facilitator and acting coach, he conducts workshops that focus on expression, body awareness, and storytelling. His theatrical works emphasise process over performance, encouraging participants to explore their own narratives through movement, voice, and improvisation. Through this integration of fine art, literature, and performance, Shrikant Puranik creates a cohesive yet diverse body of work. His practice is not confined to a single medium but evolves as an ongoing exploration of form, thought, and expression—bridging visual, textual, and performative worlds into a unified artistic vision. -
