As life path colors the fragile threads of a personal tapestry – Rajesh’s life is woven with a depth of emotion in earthy hues that fires his passion and his art.
Drawn to nature, native people & culture of India, his work springs from his attachment to land of India and inspirations from old civilizations artists. His paintings capture the strength and simplistic elegance of Indian lifestyles and of the rugged beauty of ancient art and its imperialism.
Rajesh’s commitments here involve teaching painting, Mural designing, and spreading the fragrance of Indian tradition and its fame through his paintings and artwork all over the world. As an artist, teacher, fine art conservationist, and weaver, he has contributed his diverse skills in working for Shilpgram, a village for conservation of Indian traditional lifestyle and Rajasthani imperialism.
His works effectively convey the depth and beauty of Indian culture within the primitive and stark Indian lifestyle. India and Indian way of life invigorates his spirit and infuses his art which transforms his emotions and experiences with people of India blending it in very Contemporary form almost like a tapestry, rich in color and tactile sensation.
