Course Description
Bhuri Bai ji’s artistic journey began in the colorful village of Jahuba, where at just ten years old, she was already breathing life into wall paintings. Moving to Bhopal to seek work led her to cross paths with the influential Jagdish Swaminathan, whose vision for modern Indian art helped shape her path. As one of the first women in her tribe to explore painting on paper and canvas, she has broken barriers and now enriches the art world as an artist at the Adivasi Lok Kala Academy in Bhopal. Her vibrant work has traveled from exhibitions in Delhi and Bangalore to shows in Paris, Mumbai, and Kolkata, earning her prestigious honors like the Shikhar Samman, Ahalya Samman, Rani Durgavati Award, and the coveted Padma Shri Award.
