Manjit Bawa
Manjit Bawa (1941-2008) was an Indian painter celebrated for his vibrant and lyrical works that blend mythological themes with modern sensibilities. Born in Dhuri, Punjab, Bawa studied at the College of Art in New Delhi and later trained in silk-screen printing in London. His paintings are distinguished by their bold use of color, minimalist compositions, and the depiction of fluid, almost dreamlike figures. Bawa often drew inspiration from Indian mythology, folklore, and spirituality, portraying deities, musicians, and animals in his signature style. His works are marked by a sense of serenity and introspection, often exploring themes of love, divinity, and the human connection to nature. Bawa’s unique artistic vision and his ability to infuse traditional subjects with contemporary aesthetics have made him a revered figure in Indian art, with a lasting legacy that continues to inspire.
