Sampat Raj Bochiya

Sampatraj’s portfolio is a vibrant tapestry woven across diverse genres, ranging from the intricate allure of Jaipur and the grandeur of Mughal aesthetics to the ethereal beauty of Udaipur and the captivating narratives of Pichwai art.

Hailing from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, his creative journey began in the most fortunate of ways - during 4th grade, a glance at his maternal uncle painting a clay pot changed everything. Abandoning his schoolbag, Sampat settled beside his uncle, foregoing formal education to grasp the essence of creation. Scholarly pursuits waned as an inherent talent emerged, propelling him to the forefront of drawing competitions. A misfit in conventional academia, Sampat found alignment under the tutelage of their maternal uncle and has over 35 years of experience in his artistry.

He has had his paintings exhibited in various cities and won the National Award. His portfolio stands as a testament to the artist's unique narrative - a fusion of passion, circumstance, and the irresistible pull of creativity. For Sampat ji, the answer is simple, if given the chance to be born again, he would always choose to be an artist.
