Artist style and influence
Parikh started his work initially as abstract: he practised Cubism for one year. For this short duration of time, he was influenced by the art of Pablo Picasso. Later, after 1970, he created his own style of painting, calling it Rhythm. Since his beginnings, his favourite subject remains Indian monuments and archaeological sites. He has always painted his art either on-site of his reference monument, or he paints a sketch and from that reference, he paints in his studio. Since 1970 he found the fourth dimension in his artwork which is motion, which he calls Rhythm. His art is influenced by nature, and he feels that he paints that rhythm in his painting.

His works are held in the collections of the following: • Chester and Davida Herwitz collection, famously known as the Herwitz collection, • Chemould Art Gallery. • Taj Hotels (including in the TATA Presidential Suite at The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Mumbai) • Ghalib Academy, New Delhi • National Gallery of Modern Art (in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangaluru); • Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, Mumbai; • Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi. • Air India • Feoil Fine Art, USA. • Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University, USA. • Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation (PDAF)
