Sajid Wajid Shaikh is a Mumbai based multimedia artist. Following a set of driving principles influenced by an organic intuition, his works take on different forms in terms of themes and mediums. Thinking about his drawing as one of the core components of his practice, he sees the act as cathartic and a sensorial response to his surroundings. The resulting works take on abstract, distorted, and sometimes grotesque forms.
These raw and unbridled investigations draw inspiration from German abstract expressionism that encourages spontaneity and imagination. His participation in events like the India Art Fair 2024 and the Mumbai Urban Art Festival 2022 further showcases his engagement with contemporary art discourse. Beyond traditional gallery spaces, Shaikh has also contributed to commercial projects, collaborating with brands like Google, PayPal, and Facebook, and has been involved in initiatives such as the BMW X India Art Fair’s “The Future is Born of Art”
