Autorenporträt
Born 1959 at Bikaner, Rajasthan, Mahaveer Swami is one of the finest traditional artists working in India today. His ethereal colors and exquisite brushwork are combined with unique inner vision and great sensitivity of the world around him by tempering his personal vision with the finely toned technique and rigorous discipline of his tradition. Mahaveer Swami proves that there is no real gap between contemporary and traditional, there is only art. His work demonstrates beyond a doubt that a rich and beautiful tradition is still very much alive. Having learnt mural painting at a very young age from his father and grandfather, his dedication has taken him a long way from there and has won him several accolades.
