Art + Climate Impact​​
Every artwork you collect goes beyond and makes a tangible contribution to sustainability. By using biochar in my art, each purchase helps provide biochar compost to farmers. This improves soil health, restores degraded land, and increases crop productivity.
Each collector receives a Certificate of Impact, a meaningful reminder that your investment in art is also an investment in the planet.

Impact example: Your purchase of a limited edition artwork supports:
  • 1,000 kg of biochar compost delivered to the farms
  • Improved soil health on 0.5 acres of farmland
  • Increased crop productivity and resilience against droughts by ~15%

Artist Statement

​Born in central India, I discovered my innate passion for self-expression through the timeless medium of charcoal. This ancient, sustainable material, used for millennia to create cave paintings, captivated me as a child and continues to inspire my work today. In an age of accelerating environmental crises and unsustainable artistic practices, my art seeks to reclaim the integrity of charcoal as both a medium of beauty and a symbol of ecological harmony.
My work stands at the intersection of art and climate action. Each piece, created using eco-friendly materials such as biochar, transforms visual storytelling into a vehicle for sustainability. By marrying the tactile authenticity of hand-drawn artistry with a deep commitment to environmental consciousness, I aim to awaken reverence for our planet and inspire a collective commitment to its preservation.

Globally recognized through exhibitions, publications, and even acknowledgment from the White House, my art reflects a unique balance between aesthetic serenity and environmental activism. My Master’s degree in Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University deepens my understanding of design and fuels my ambition to address global challenges creatively. Beyond my artistic practice, my role as a Climate Change and Sustainability Consultant allows me to integrate systemic solutions into my vision for a resilient future.

Through my work, I invite audiences to reimagine their relationship with the sustainable world. Whether depicting the scars of climate change or celebrating the power of renewable energy, my art is a call to action for businesses, communities, and individuals to collaborate in shaping a sustainable future.​

Sustainability Impact Partners

To make every artwork meaningful beyond the canvas,  PlantVillage+, a Penn State founded cooperative dedicated to empowering smallholder farmers with climate-smart agriculture. Through this partnership:
  • Biochar compost is delivered directly to farming communities, enriching soils and restoring degraded land.
  • Farmers gain resilience against droughts and climate stress, while boosting crop yields and food security.
  • ​Carbon is sequestered durably, turning agricultural waste into a resource that supports both the planet and people.
When you purchase my artwork, you’re not only collecting a unique piece of creativity — you’re joining this mission. 
Art becomes regeneration — your collection becomes a living proof of climate action.

Your words that inspire me

“Abhijeet’s charcoal works stopped me in my tracks — they transform abstract climate data into deeply human stories. I left the gallery with a new sense of responsibility and hope.”
“I purchased a piece for our office and it continuously sparks conversations about resilience and stewardship. It’s beautiful, urgent, and thoughtful.”
“A visceral, haunting series. The textures and light feel like both a eulogy and a call to action.”
“The work is quiet at first, then it grows inside you. Friends and clients ask about the art every time they visit.”
“Seeing this exhibition changed how I talk to my students about climate risk and storytelling. Incredible educational value.”
“A rare voice in contemporary practice — technically masterful and morally engaged.”
“Abhijeet’s installation paired perfectly with our symposium — attendees stayed to discuss ideas long after the event ended.”
“Collaborating with Abhijeet was seamless: professional, responsive and deeply creative. The final pieces exceeded our expectations.”
