Jayant Parikh was born on 2 April 1940 into a Gujarati Bania family in Bandhni village, Gujarat State, India. His family had a grocery shop in his village. He shifted to Vadodara in 1957 to study art at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara.[3]

In 1962, he acquired his Post Diploma in Painting under the teaching of N. S. Bendre. As an extra subject, he studied woodcut in graphics. Later on, he also learned etching and colorography.

He was a temporary lecturer in the faculty of fine arts M.S. University in 1970 for the painting department and in 1980 for the graphics department for one year short duration each time. He also had more than 74 one-man shows.[4]

Artist style and influence

Parikh started his work initially as abstract: he practiced Cubism for one year. For this short duration of time, he was influenced by the art of Pablo Picasso. Later, after 1970, he had created his own style of painting, calling it Rhythm. Since his beginnings, his favorite subject remains Indian monuments and archaeological sites. He has always painted his art either on-site of his reference monument, or he paints a sketch and from that reference, he paints in his studio. Since 1970 he found the fourth dimension in his artwork which is motion, which he calls Rhythm. His art is influenced by nature, and he feels that he paints that rhythm in his painting.[15]
