Born and brought up in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan, Vijay is an artist by choice.

After completing 4 years diploma in applied arts from the Rajasthan School of Arts, he had a budding art career assisting an art director in Mumbai, when he realized his passion lay in painting.

He got inspired by Rajasthani culture and its rich heritage, which conveys simple themes and life around them. He paints the main subject bigger in size, with his miniature figures to portray the subject’s importance in his life.

For Vijay, the word ‘Maharaja’ invokes the image of a powerful, fabulously wealthy, jewelled and turbaned ruler. He has a strong desire that the persona of the maharaja and maharani do not get erased from our minds. In his art works he has portrayed them as gigantic, very strong and impressive personalities, and with his miniature figures conjure a vision of their magnificence very well.
 
Vijay has done several groups shows in India and abroad as well. He has been exhibiting his works at various national and international galleries and art fairs and events from the year 2008 and his collections can be seen at prestigious Indian museums and international galleries.

Currently Vijay is residing in Jaipur as a freelance artist.
