AYANTIKA SAJWAL

Ayantika Sajwal (b. 2002, West Bengal, India) is a Baroda-based visual artist primarily working in clay, often incorporating direct hybridization of organic materials such as animal skin, bird feathers, and other found elements. She has a BFA from Kala Bhavana, Viswa-Bharati University, Santiniketan, specialising in ceramics and glass, and an MVA from the Department of Sculpture at MSU Baroda. 

Her process draws from personal memory, inherited cultural references, familiar objects and bodily suggestions, which inform the forms and material choices in her work. She experiments with several alternative firing techniques where the clay body captures traces, imprints, and transformations that occur during the process, allowing the material to record its own making.

She has been a part of group exhibitions like: Emerging Palettes: 16 at Srishti Art Gallery, Hyderabad (2026); Jaipur Art Week 5.0 Group Show (2026); Serendipity Arts Festival by Raqs Media Collective (2025), and more. She has been awarded the Gold Medal for Academic Excellence from MSU, Baroda along with the Maati Foundation Award. She is also a recipient of the Kalasakshi Scholarship and Residency, an alumni of Space Studio Artist Residency Baroda. Her work is part of the private collection of the Indigo Art Museum. 

She is currently a participant in the Studio Catalyst mentorship program by Anant Art Gallery.
