Overview
Rajaram Naik is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, video, lens-based media, and installation. Rooted in Goa’s cultural heritage, his work navigates the intersections of tradition and contemporary life, engaging with sociopolitical narratives and endangered folk forms such as Dashavatara and curtain painting.
Through a hybrid approach that blends ancestral knowledge systems, theatre traditions, and emerging media, Naik creates immersive, research-driven environments. His art reimagines cultural memory as both a reflective and transformative space, inviting audiences into dialogues on identity, community, and the relevance of folk practices in today’s world.
He holds a BFA from the Goa College of Art and an MFA from MIT ADT University, Pune. Recent exhibitions include the Panjim Cube Project at Serendipity Arts Festival, Feral Ecologies at HH Art Spaces, and the Goa Open Art Festival in Panjim.
Born in Goa, India, he currently lives and works there.
