Walter D’Souza

Walter D’Souza studied painting and printmaking at the Faculty of Fine Arts, M. S. University, Vadodara. Known primarily for his printmaking and woodcut work, he is dedicated to creating an ever-evolving personal vocabulary through art. He has worked closely with architects to explore new definitions in design, such as the possibility of converting the large woodblocks used in printmaking as a form of relief sculpture. He has famously executed several mural-like installations within architectural art. Besides printmaking, his work also includes glass paintings, watercolours and sculpture. He has taught the Basic Design program at the School of Architecture, Ahmedabad; Drawing and Sketching at the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Gandhinagar; and Drawing at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. His works, especially prints, have been a part of numerous shows nationally and internationally, including the International Print Triennale in Finland.
