Featured Fine Art Collections by Rajesh Sawant
A personal selection of my work spanning realistic portraits, spiritual art, and landscapes, each created as a heartfelt tribute to our culture.
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.
I enjoy working with different mediums, and this large-scale chalk drawing of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on a blackboard was a special tribute. The video shows the process of creating this detailed portrait, showcasing my ability to handle large and unconventional formats.
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.
This video shows me at work on an oil portrait of the great social reformer, Krantijyoti Savitrimai Phule. It was a great honor for this painting to be unveiled and permanently displayed at the Mantralay in Mumbai.
"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.
I often find inspiration by painting on location. This video shows the process of creating a watercolor landscape of a temple on the ghats, capturing the serene atmosphere directly from life.
About Featured
I believe every painting should hold a deeper meaning, which is why I use premium, double-primed cotton canvas and archival-grade pigments for all my work. Whether I am painting a single subject portrait or a complex historical scene, the process begins with a detailed consultation to ensure the composition aligns perfectly with your vision before I ever touch the brush.
My artistic journey is deeply rooted in 'bharatiya aitihasik sanskriti' (Indian historical culture). Whether you are looking for a lifelike memorial portrait or a vibrant cityscape of a holy ghat, I bring the same level of dedication to every commission.
My Approach to Commissions
- Personal Consultation: Every project starts with a conversation. We discuss your reference photos, the desired emotion, and the narrative you want to convey.
- Sketch Approval: For complex pieces, I provide a layout sketch. This ensures that the composition, proportions, and spirit of the subject are captured exactly as you envision them.
- Quality Materials: I prioritize longevity. I use Heavy Body Acrylics or professional oils on premium canvas, finished with a UV-resistant varnish to protect your investment for years to come.
Art for Every Space
- Portraits: I aim to go beyond mere resemblance to capture the 'soul' of the individual, making these ideal for memorials or family heirlooms.
- Historical & Spiritual: I paint scenes that resonate with tradition, from the valor of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to the serenity of Buddha, using research and historical accuracy.
- Landscapes: From the busy streets of Shahada to the serene temples on the ghats, I capture the light and energy of a location on canvas.
My work is available for shipping across India. Every original artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring your piece is a verified part of my collection.
