Rajesh Sawant

I am a fine artist creating paintings and portraits as a tribute to Indian history and culture. It is my privilege to share my knowledge by teaching and guiding students through workshops and live demonstrations.

This was a golden moment for me and my family, receiving the State's Best Art Teacher award. It is a recognition of my dedication to the Guru-Shishya tradition of teaching, which I bring to every student I mentor.

I am honored to serve as a jury member for international art competitions like this one in Malaysia. This experience gives me a unique insight into what makes an artwork stand out, and I share this knowledge directly with my students to prepare them for competitive success.

I was deeply honored when my paintings of Mahatma Phule and Savitribai Phule were unveiled at the Mantralaya by the Hon. Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. It is a blessing to have my art, rooted in our culture, recognized at this level.

Here I am conducting a live landscape painting demonstration for fellow art teachers at a state-level conference. I believe in sharing knowledge not just with students, but with the entire art community to elevate our collective skills.

This oil on canvas painting is my humble tribute to the great freedom fighter, Punjab Kesari Lala Lajpat Rai. I aimed to capture the intensity and sacrifice of the Indian freedom struggle, using a realistic style to bring this historical moment to life.

A portrait is more than a likeness; it's about capturing a person's spirit. This acrylic on canvas portrait of my late art teacher, Kamlakar Yardi Sir, is an example of how I create memorial portraits that honor a person's legacy and soul.

Spiritual art is a deep passion of mine. This acrylic painting, "Sankatmochan Hanuman," blends traditional iconography with a contemporary feel, using vibrant colors to convey divine energy. This piece is now part of the Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation collection.

Capturing the play of light and shadow in everyday life is a challenge I love. This acrylic landscape of a street in Shahada was painted as part of a live demonstration, showing how I create atmospheric cityscapes that feel alive.

"Glory of Prabhu Ram" is a large acrylic canvas I created during a painting camp in Ayodhya. It combines realistic depictions of the deities with an abstract, expressive background, representing a blend of traditional reverence and modern artistic style.

My Story

Namaskar, I’m Rajesh Sawant. My Nana and my Guruvarya shaped how I see art, but my heart beats for my mom. She’s the reason I am who I am – I miss her every day. I paint to keep our aitihasik sanskriti (historical culture) alive, with portraits of Shivaji Maharaj, Prabhu Ram, and freedom fighters. Winning awards abroad is nice, but nothing beats the pride I feel as a kaladhyapak (art teacher) in Nashik, when my students shine.

My Work

Fine Art & Painting - I paint with oil, acrylic, watercolor, even chalk. Subjects? History, culture, serene landscapes, spiritual themes.

Historical & Cultural Art - My art preserves our heritage, especially with realistic portraits of Indian freedom fighters and icons like Shivaji Maharaj.

Art Teacher & Guide - Teaching art is my soul work. I guide students for competitions, organize creative events, and celebrate their success.

Live Demos & Workshops - I do live painting demonstration in Nashik and beyond, sharing acrylic landscape painting techniques at workshops and lectures.
