Mayur Vayeda

Artist and One Half of the Artist Duo Vayeda Brothers

The Vayeda Brothers are contemporary artists who reinterpret ancestral knowledge through a refined, minimalist lens. As a new generation rooted in indigenous community life, they play a crucial role in preserving cultural memory while translating inherited symbols into fresh visual vocabularies of dots, lines, and carefully composed negative space. Their practice moves between intimate miniature paintings and large-scale murals, where traditional motifs meet contemporary composition, rhythm, and spatial clarity. Guided by close observation of land, flora, fauna, seasonal cycles, and lived ritual traditions, their imagery carries both continuity and experimentation. They are committed to intergenerational exchange—learning from elders, honouring oral histories, and reactivating local ecological wisdom through art. Through research-driven narratives and disciplined mark-making, they build bridges between community and contemporary audiences, expanding the possibilities of indigenous-led contemporary art and opening new conversations around place, identity, and resilience.
