Born in Hyderabad, leading Indian contemporary artist Fawad Tamkanat finds inspiration in urban encounters and the bustling streets of his hometown. He is particularly known for his complex cityscape paintings, where narrow lanes and stairs twist through rows of homes and domed clock towers. Across his popular city series and his portraits of women, he works in a rich color palette of earthy reds, deep blues, electric greens and bright turquoise.

Fawad Tamkanat received his bachelor’s degree in fine arts at JNTU College of Fine Arts in Hyderabad and his master’s in fine arts from S.N.S. Central University of Hyderabad, earning a university gold medal in both programs. His work has been featured in state, national and international exhibitions, as well as in major art institutions such as the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, the Kristen Kajer Museum in Denmark, and the Imago Mundi Collection in Italy.
