Mukesh Swami (Miniature Artist) a descended from a family of traditional Bikaneri painters. As a child, I began training with my brother , Raju Swami, and father, Gorverdhan Dass Swami.
My style is strongly influenced by my studies of Mughal miniatures , and my subject matter is often drawn from life study of holy men and women. The remarkable, ethereal colors are ground by hand from stones and minerals , and I works exclusively on fine antique papers, many collected by my father for generations.
I exhibited in group shows in Itly, Spain, Lindon, Mumbai , Calcutta , Delhi, Paris, Jerusalem and Dubai, and has had a one-man exhibition at Nakkta in Delhi.
