Hitesh Vaidya in his practice believes that human experiences are encapsulated in the things we use and spaces we live in. It works as reference in the process of remembrance, can evoke emotion and aid in identity formation for individuals, families and communities. Hitesh interprets the city through everyday objects, daily rituals and interpersonal relationships within its communal spaces. He embraces traditional art forms and repurposes local materials from the city’s vernacular architecture to investigate contemporary experiences of the city. His practices as a medium include painting to painterly intervention into existing objects and working among still and moving images.
Through Niva Art Space, he explores community-based artistic interventions as an extension of his artistic practice. He imagines public, communal spaces as active sites of artistic imagination, a space where tradition can co-exist with the contemporary.
