Digvijaysinh Jadeja

Digvijaysinh Jadeja (b. 1999, Bhavnagar, Gujarat) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work navigates the fragile boundary between the real and the imagined. Deeply rooted in memory, dreams, and the emotional undercurrents of everyday life, his practice draws from personal experiences and shared stories to construct evocative figurative narratives and dreamlike landscapes. His canvases and prints conjure liminal spaces where viewers are invited to reflect on human vulnerability, absurdity, and longing; worlds that feel at once intimate and surreal.

 

Raised in Bhavnagar and trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts, MSU Baroda, Jadeja holds a BVA in Painting (2017–21) and an MVA in Printmaking (2021–23). His practice is deeply influenced by the emotional dissonance between remembered moments and their reimagined versions, blurring time and space in an attempt to make sense of the evolving self. Through his visual language is anchored in atmosphere, symbolism, and subtle storytelling, he captures the tensions between inner conflict and quiet observation, anchoring his viewers within a meditative sensibility.

 

Digvijaysinh has exhibited widely, with a solo exhibition Perception of Realities at the India International Centre, New Delhi, and has received multiple recognitions, including the MacDowell Fellowship (2024), CCRT Young Artist Scholarship (2023), Hyundai India’s Art for Hope grant (2021–22), and the Prafulla Dahanukar Kalanand Merit Award (2022). His accolades also include the Prof. V.S. Patel Gold Medal and C.R. Das Gupta Memorial Gold Medal for excellence in printmaking. His works were selected for the Students’ Biennale at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (2021) and have featured in numerous group exhibitions across India and abroad.
