Art Continuum: A Journey Through Artistic Expression
Visual Art forges connections between knowledge, culture, and expression. While its visual impact remains undeniable, the true catalyst for artistic evolution lies in the platforms that nurture creativity. It is within these dynamic spaces that emerging talent finds its voice and established artists receive due recognition.
With this philosophy, the Artival Foundation presents Art Continuum, an ambitious, nationwide exhibition that fosters artistic inclusivity. Started by Satish Patil and Sharad Gurav in 2018, Director Prashant Kashikar & Dr. Jayesh Dakre the foundation serves as a non-commercial sanctuary for artists, championing both contemporary and indigenous art forms. With a commitment to amplifying voices often overshadowed in mainstream narratives—particularly folk and tribal artists—Artival provides a vital space for artistic exchange and appreciation.
Having begun its journey at the Visual Art Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi in 2024, Art Continuum will embark on a national tour, celebrating the diverse artistic landscapes of India. The upcoming Mumbai leg at the Nehru Centre marks a significant milestone in this journey. This prestigious venue will host a compelling selection of works by contemporary visual artists, uniting urban and rural artistic expressions under one roof.
Beyond an exhibition, Art Continuum embodies an ethos of accessibility, cultural preservation, and philanthropy. A portion of the proceeds from artwork sales will be donated to the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA), reinforcing Artival’s commitment to social impact. The show invites art enthusiasts, collectors, and the public to engage in a transformative experience that bridges tradition and modernity. As Art Continuum arrives in Mumbai, it reaffirms the profound, enduring relationship between humanity and artistic expression—a celebration of creativity, heritage, and collective consciousness.

Fiona Graham Rouse Art Lover and the Wife of Consul General of New Zealand), Smt. Sarala N. (Managing Director, Artquest Art Gallery(AAG).
Urban Whispers: The Cityscapes of Ajit Deswandikar Ajit Deswandikar’s upcoming solo show offers a poignant glimpse into the heart of India’s urban existence. With a masterful hand, he captures the hustle and quietude of city streets, where life unfolds in layers. His subdued palette of whites and greys mirrors the muted tones of urban chaos. Yet, amidst the quiet monotones, a splash of vibrant color breathes life into his compositions. Rickshaw pullers pause mid-journey, their silhouettes etched against crumbling buildings. Vendors gather in bustling markets, their movements merging into a rhythmic urban dance. Streams of water wind their way through the city, reflecting the gritty skyline. Tall, looming structures frame the horizon, marking the city’s relentless growth. The skylines Deswandikar paints are not mere backdrops but protagonists in their own right. His work speaks of the fragile balance between progress and the remnants of the past. Through restrained hues, he conveys the resilience of those who inhabit these spaces. A lone streak of red or yellow symbolizes hope amid the greys of urban monotony. The artist’s brush strokes are deliberate yet fluid, echoing the city’s dynamism. Every frame is a narrative, alive with the pulse of humanity and its struggles. Deswandikar’s cityscapes are not just visuals but a sensory experience. You can almost hear the honking rickshaws and the chatter of street vendors. The juxtaposition of stillness and motion defines his artistic language. In his work, modernity coexists with traces of a simpler, bygone era. Ajit Deswandikar invites us to pause and reflect on our relationship with urban spaces. His paintings remind us that beneath the grey, every city holds a vivid, untold story.

His works, characterised by intricate textures, layers of colours, and geometrical and rhythmic forms, evoke a meditative resonance. Using a diverse palette of earthy and ethereal tones, the canvases pulsate with a quiet energy, offering a sensory and contemplative experience.

Each piece is imbued with a sense of balance, drawing inspiration from the natural world and metaphysical concepts. Nikam’s mastery lies in his ability to balance abstraction and corporeal worlds, allowing viewers to interpret and internalise his art in deeply personal ways.
This exhibition also highlights the artist’s distinctive use of texture, where layers of pigment and gestural strokes create a tactile depth, a mesmerising spiral energetic movement, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the narrative embedded within each canvas. The works serve as a visual sanctuary, urging us to pause, reflect, and connect deeply with our inner selves.
Inner Tranquility is an experience that resonates with the universal quest for peace and understanding. Artist Nilesh Dada Nikam’s unique voice, deeply rooted in spiritual inquiry, promises to captivate both seasoned art connoisseurs and new admirers.

What You will Experience:
This exhibition takes you on an emotional journey through themes like:
Nature as the Universal Mother
We call her Mother Nature because, like a mother, she gives selflessly – providing us with life-sustaining resources, shelter, and beauty. She mirrors a mother’s care, strength, and sacrifices. Yet, as humanity prospers, we often neglect and exploit her generosity.
This exhibition sheds light on this delicate relationship, urging viewers to reflect on the ways we can honor and protect the planet we call home. The theme reminds us that nurturing our natural world is as crucial as cherishing the mothers who raise us.
An Invitation to Feel and Reflect
“Motherhood is not just a relationship; it’s a constant presence guiding us through life’s every phase,” says Devendra. This exhibition invites you to reflect on the true meaning of a mother’s love—be it from the one who gave us life or from the Earth that sustains us.
