Naveen Tungana

Naveen Tungana completed his B.F.A in printmaking in 2021 from Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and his Masters from Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, in Printmaking in 2023. Born and brought up in a farming family, Tungana was closely associated with farming. He used to go to the field with his father and experience the challenges that farmers dealt with every day, i.e., climate conditions, availability of resources, and water quality. Taking inspiration from his experience and the ritualistic practices that are often performed by the framers in the hope of bringing good luck, Tungana tries to explore the underlying meaning between belief system and lifestyle in his practice.
