Nagdas is an Indian contemporary artist from Jalore, Rajasthan, whose work channels a vivid inner mythology into bold and dramatic visual worlds. Growing up in a humble Rajput household, he developed a sensitivity to his surroundings and an early creative curiosity that blossomed after he moved to Jaipur as a teenager. There, encountering artists for the first time, Nagdas began experimenting with unconventional materials—painting on found objects and crafting his own pigments. This resourceful, exploratory approach remains central to his practice.
Nagdas is known for his dynamic depictions of serpents, mystical beings, and fantastical hybrid creatures that merge animal forms with imagined anatomies. His work radiates an intense, mysterious energy, often incorporating multiple heads, eyes, and fragmented bodies that echo Cubist sensibilities while drawing from folklore, dreams, and the subconscious.
