Through the mediums of woodcut and etching, he translates personal memory into a broader social and cultural narrative, balancing traditional printmaking practices with contemporary concerns. His series Childhood Tractor draws on his lived experiences of growing up in a farming community, transforming rural play and collective memory into visual metaphors that capture the vitality of everyday life. Through his practice, Beniwal creates a dialogue between memory, material, and community, using printmaking as a way to preserve and reimagine the textures of rural life for contemporary audiences.
