Vikram Marathe

Vikram Marathe is an art professional with over a decade of experience working with museums, exhibitions, and artist communities. He has served as a curator at institutions such as Zapurza Museum of Art and Culture, where he contributed to research, exhibition development, and cultural programming. Alongside his curatorial work, he is also a practicing artist with a deep interest in heritage, visual culture, and museum practices.

His art practice primarily explores the medium of rust as a material and visual language. He works with oxidized metal surfaces and natural corrosion processes to create textures, patterns, and forms that reflect the passage of time and transformation of materials. Through this process, I am interested in the dialogue between nature, and artistic intervention, allowing the organic behaviour of rust to shape the final visual outcome.

Microscopic life in earthy hues

This series of artworks; explores the unseen rhythms of life at a microscopic level, where cells, microbes, and organic structures coexist in quiet complexity. The layered textures and earthy tones evoke biological processes growth, interaction, and transformation blurring the line between abstraction and anatomy. It reflects how even the smallest units of life carry intricate patterns, silently shaping the human body and its continuous state of change.
