From sleeping on Mumbai’s footpaths to putting Indian art on the world map.
M.F. Husain once painted giant cinema billboards for survival. That raw, larger-than-life energy became his signature.
In 1948, he co-founded the Progressive Artists’ Group - fusing Indian folk roots with Cubism & Expressionism to paint a brand-new India.
Iconic horses, Three Padma Awards, And an unbreakable spirit: “They can put me in a jungle. Still I can create.”
The ultimate rags-to-renaissance story.

Met Gala 2026 put “costume art” in focus but India has been doing it for decades.

From Karan Johar in Manish Malhotra inspired by Raja Ravi Varma, to Isha Ambani in Gaurav Gupta the red carpet nodded to art.

But long before that, Bhanu Athaiya was already blending art, history, and cinema.

The original blueprint.

Before it became a digital collection, Art Meets Jazz was a live experience.

At Jolie’s in Mumbai, Louiz Banks’ paintings and music shared the same room.

For many, it was the first time seeing him not just as a musician, but as a visual artist.

Then came Trincas, The Bengal Biennale.

They are now preserved digitally forever.

Art Meets Jazz wasn’t just created — it was composed.
We took each of Louiz Banks’ 35 paintings and broke them down layer by layer.
Then we paired every single one with one of his original jazz compositions and that’s when the magic happened.
Those layers came alive not randomly, but moving and breathing in perfect sync with the music, they don’t sit still, they perform.
The result, 1,225 unique living digital artworks, each one a real conversation between painting and sound.

Keren SouzaKohn paints what’s right in front of her.

Everyday objects.
Quiet interiors.
Familiar spaces filled with light.

Subjects most would overlook transformed into something impossible to ignore.

Her surfaces never sit still. Her colours feel alive, still deciding themselves as you look.

She learned to see from a father who changed Indian art.
Then she found her own way.

You’ve heard Louiz Banks even if you didn’t know it.

The piano behind R.D. Burman’s iconic compositions.
Mile Sur Mera Tumhara.
Collaborations with Ravi Shankar and Zakir Hussain.
A Grammy nomination.

For over five decades, he helped shape the sound of India.

What almost no one knew?
He was painting all along.

What does it actually mean to tokenise a painting?

With Keren SouzaKohn’s work, it’s simple: each token represents ownership in the real artwork.

Not a print.
Not a reproduction.
Not a digital version.

The actual canvas. The brushwork. The object she created by hand.

Each token is a verified, traceable share in that physical work with the possibility to eventually claim the painting.

What does jazz look like? What if you could actually see it in the form of an artwork dancing to its rhythm?

These questions sits at the heart of Art Meets Jazz, a digital art project that translates 35 original musical compositions by the Godfather of Indian Jazz, Louiz Banks into a visual series of 1,225 digital artworks.

A defining figure of Indian modern art and a founding member of the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group, artist F.N. Souza’s radical works that revolutionised the Indian art landscape have sold for millions globally.

Having grown up observing the artist paint, his daughter, Keren SouzaKohn, has paved her own path in the art world with a bold, instinctive, and vibrant body of works. Her father’s fearlessness echoes through her art, but her voice is entirely her own.

For the first time, Keren SouzaKohn’s paintings are available as tokenised digital art, each token representing ownership in a real, physical canvas.
