Artists

Started by Shilp Guru Gopal Saini, one of India’s most celebrated blue pottery artists, renowned for preserving and innovating Jaipur’s traditional craft. A recipient of the prestigious Shilp Guru Award (2016) and National Award (2009) from the Government of India, he has also been honoured with the Maharana Sajjan Singh Award and multiple lifetime achievement recognitions. With decades of experience, he has represented India internationally, sharing his mastery from Iceland to Colombia and training generations of artisans through workshops, schools, and government programs to keep the heritage of blue pottery alive. Ram Gopal Blue Pottery creates handcrafted works available through Artiure under the Shilpnidhi initiative.

Sumali is a self-taught artist from Colombo, Sri Lanka, drawn to vibrant colour and the freedom of working across different media. Her work moves from classic oil paints to mixed media, with a largely abstract style — less about traditional technique, more about blending modern, expressive approaches until the piece feels alive. Her inspiration comes from travel, from her surroundings, and from the people she meets along the way. Above all, her paintings are about freedom, joy, and positivity.

Pranoti is an artist drawn to the traditional art forms of India, with her heart set on Pichwai. Her work carries this exquisite craft out of the frame and into everyday life, onto wooden tray and coaster sets, and home décor pieces made to be lived with. Each creation honours the timeless detail of Pichwai while giving it a place at your table, in your home. Not just art to admire, but art to use and to gift, when you want to give something with meaning.

For more than two decades, art has been my language. My contemporary Pichwai paintings draw from the traditional Pichwai style once used as backdrops behind the idol of Shrinathji. For me, art emerges where the artist's intellect and subconscious meet the technical means and skills at hand.

The artworks are alchemical and focus on motivational life lessons and also spiritual teachings . They act as gentle reminders to nudge us to keep growing and becoming our true selves inspite of challenges and setbacks. They are elaborated with poems by Rumi, Shams, Hafiz and Kabir. Monochrome in visuals , the centre point is The Golden Lotus (the divine), the prayer beads (the unconditional path of devotion and surrender) and the butterflies which signify the transitory nature of life.

As an artist, I seek to leave one drop of my creative existence in the unfathomable ocean of Creativity. My work is a way of voicing concern about the disturbing norms of an existentially challenged, techno-centric society. I was first drawn to art in 1995 under Bengali lecturer Vishwaranjan Chaudhari at Fine Arts College, Agartala, and trained formally from 2004 to 2012 at Triveni Kala Sangam under Rameshwar Baroota. My solo exhibitions include Abstract Realities: The New Semantics at Bikaner House, New Delhi (2026), The Struggle is On at Shridharani Gallery (2016), Comfort Zone at Lalit Kala Akademi (2013), Pratispardha at Punjab Kala Bhavan, Chandigarh (2012), and Crisis of Identity at Triveni Art Gallery (2010). My paintings have also featured in numerous group and international shows across India and abroad, from the Asian Humanities and Art Exhibition in Guangzhou and the international AAMA exhibition to presentations at NGMA, AIFACS, Jawahar Kala Kendra, and Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Jasper Daniel's paintings explore the psychological landscapes that lie beneath ordinary life. His work returns to memory, identity, solitude, belonging, and the fragile ways we make sense of ourselves and the world around us. Rather than depicting reality as it appears, he paints how it feels. Fragments, erasures, layered surfaces and ambiguous figures give form to emotions that are often difficult to describe. He does not expect his paintings to carry a single meaning. Each one holds space for what you bring to it. His work often exists between abstraction and suggestion. Fragments resembling figures, architecture, memory, landscapes, or psychological spaces appear and dissolve within the dark,

Some art tells you what to look at. Hers asks you where you're from. Rooted in Indian contemporary painting, her work carries something that goes deeper than style. It is a record of the way people have always lived here. The rhythms of indigenous life, the geometry of everyday ritual, the quiet dignity of things that don't need explaining. She finds all of it in composition: simple, deliberate, unmistakably her own. But she doesn't stay still within tradition. She pushes at its edges, folding in abstraction, letting modern sensibilities bleed into ancient themes, until something entirely new emerges. Not a fusion for its own sake. An honest conversation between what has always been and what is becoming. The result is work that feels both inherited and invented. Familiar in feeling, surprising in form.

A visionary oil painter whose work explores the dialogue between natural harmony and the energy of man-made structures. Rooted in deep observation, his landscapes transition between serene forests and bustling urban ruins. His style is defined by a masterful play of texture, light, and sharp perspective, adding atmospheric depth to every piece. By capturing what often goes unnoticed, ?His works invites us to experience the rhythmic pulse of human creation balanced against nature’s serenity.

Sanjay Wagh is a fine artist from Nashik, Maharashtra, known for his water-color work. His illustrations were featured in the 9th and 10th standard History and Civics textbooks of the Maharashtra State Board, helping bring historical and social themes to life for students across the state. Through his art, he combines traditional water-color techniques with a strong sense of storytelling.

Arun Bajaj, popularly known as The Needle Man, is an Indian textile artist from Patiala who creates highly detailed portraits using only a sewing machine and thread. Instead of paint, he “draws” with thousands of meters of thread, producing lifelike works that often take months or years to complete. The son of a tailor, he transformed a practical skill into a rare art form that has earned Global recognition and record-setting acclaim.

Arun Kumar is a promising young self-taught artist in India, working with acrylic on canvas and paper to create vibrant paintings inspired by the nature ant real time visuals that comes into the mind. Daily art practice is very essential part of an artist, it is pure, evocative as well as sensitive. My bold use of colour and gestural brushwork capture the essence of light and vast open spaces.

He discovered his love for art at a young age, drawn in by the works of artists who would shape everything he does—John Fernandes, Ravi Paranjape, John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn, and Richard Schmid. Each of them taught him something different: the power of light, the honesty of brushwork, the courage to paint what you truly see. He never went to art school. Instead, he taught himself—studying their masterpieces, picking up a brush, and painting from life, again and again. Every landscape, every face, every fleeting moment of light became his classroom. Over the years, what started as curiosity turned into devotion. Today, painting isn't something he does on the side—it's woven into who he is. It's how he makes sense of the world, how he holds on to its beauty and complexity. It's not a hobby anymore. It's his breath of life.
