The intersection of art and environmental sustainability has become increasingly significant in the contemporary global discourse. This abstract explores the manifestations of environmental consciousness in the realm of Indian art, examining both the artistic practices employed and the diverse perspectives conveyed. In a time of unprecedented environmental challenges, artists in India are responding with creativity and urgency, utilizing their platforms to raise awareness and provoke thoughtful conversations about sustainability. This study investigates the diverse range of artistic practices employed by Indian artists to address environmental concerns. From traditional mediums to cutting-edge technologies, artists are exploring innovative ways to communicate the urgency of environmental issues. Sculptures crafted from recycled materials, paintings depicting ecological imbalances, and interactive installations that engage audiences in environmental dialogues are just a few examples of the varied approaches taken by artists in India.
