The Inlaks Fine Art Award 2026

We are delighted to welcome the five recipients of the Inlaks Fine Art Award for 2026.

Likitha Jain

A visual art practitioner and a part time textile designer, Likitha specializes in sustainable art practices, integrating eco-friendly materials in her work. Her process is driven by a commitment to innovative expression and a desire to inspire positive change within her surroundings, exploring diverse mediums to foster meaningful engagement and reflection.

Moumita Basak

Moumita is an eco-feminist artist whose practice engages with discarded textiles, embroidery threads, and waste cloth—materials traditionally associated with domestic spaces and women’s labor. Through her work, she reclaims these humble materials, transforming them into potent visual forms that speak to gender inequality and ecological urgency.

Pritam Das

Pritam's practice is rooted in the socio-political and ecological realities of Singur, West Bengal, which has been carrying the after-effects of forced industrialization and land movements for nearly twenty years. He explores how these conditions have left long-lasting impacts on the ecology, human-land relationship, memory, and identity.

Sanyukta Kudtarkar

Sanyukta is a painter whose work speaks about presence and spatial relations, displacement and disappearance. Often working with her own family archives, she explores questions of identity, belonging and survival.

Samudra Gogoi

Samudra is a multi-disciplinary visual artist who engages with diverse mediums including printmaking, interactive digital media, immersive sound, video games, glass, ceramic and more. He constantly engages with the thought of “A Body Not Decomposing”. It lingers both as a metaphor and a condition, a reflection of a world where human-made systems, built in pursuit of immortal projects, have begun to interrupt the natural cycles of life, death, and decay.
