About

Born on 1st January 1970

I am deeply inspired by Udaipur, a city where I spent my early days indulging in mischief and contemplating the mysteries of life. I am nostalgic about those times, that city, my days in school with my classmates, and quarrels with my siblings at home. My work is a telling statement of the rural people I grew up amongst. From the beginning, lines have been the foundation of my painting. Working with lines and shapes, I have painted an array of different moments, making sure the elements compliment each other. Their amalgamation brings a pleasant essence to my work, amplifying the harmony between those people and their relationship with nature.

Spending his early days in the streets of Udaipur (Rajasthan), Mukesh Salvi’s early life was like any other carefree child – aimlessly riding his bicycle, playing games and getting lost in a world of fantasy. He was inspired by the lives of the people in his village and soon completed his MFA in Painting from Rajathan school of Art, Jaipur. His paintings draw on his feeling of nostalgia as he depicts surreal figures using bold strokes and vivid colours, combining it with a textural feel. His medium is acrylic on canvas. Mukesh has been the recipient of several awards such as Merit Cetificate (Kalavart Nyas, Ujjain), best exhibit of the Annual Art Exhibition (Rajasthan school of Art, Jaipur) and best student awards from RSA as well as Rajasthan Lalit Kala Academy, Jaipur. Mukesh has had two solo shows, held at Hotel Leela Palace, Bangalore and Kalaneri Art Gallery, Jaipur, along with more than 35 group shows to his name.
