Mahaveer Swami

Bikaner Miniature Artist Botanical Storyteller Guardian of Sacred Themes

Mahaveer Swami, born in Bikaner, Rajasthan, India, in 1959, is a highly accomplished artist. He began his artistic journey with home training before pursuing a Diploma in Painting & Sculpture at the Rajasthan School of Art in Jaipur. Mahaveer Swami's artistic themes frequently encompass asceticism, the everyday experiences of Indian women, and Hindu mythology, all influenced by Mughal and Rajasthani miniature traditions. With a strong interest in botany, he has produced remarkable miniature paintings with botanical themes. He has also collaborated with several prominent botanical societies, including the American, Korean, and Indian Botanical Societies.

His art has gained international recognition through exhibitions at prestigious galleries in various Indian cities and abroad. He honed his skills in traditional painting under the tutelage of his mentor, the late Shri Vedpal Sharma "Bannu." Swami's work has been extensively exhibited, with over 60 galleries in India, including major cities like New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, showcasing his art. Internationally, his reach extends to Paris, Brussels, Jerusalem, Washington DC, New York, Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Spain and Australia. Beyond exhibitions, Mahaveer Swami is dedicated to sharing his expertise. He has conducted workshops and training programs across India and globally, in locations such as Paris, Cairo, Jerusalem, Dubai, Bhutan, Algeria, Taiwan, Belgium, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Pittsburgh and Washington, DC.

His artistic prowess has been recognized with numerous accolades, including the prestigious Master Craftsman Award (National Award). His art is held in the collections of over 17 museums and galleries worldwide, including institutions in Jerusalem, Berlin, Pittsburgh, New York, Paris, Belgium and Algeria.

Mahaveer Swami's contributions to the art world are also documented in various books, magazines, and online blogs. His artwork is part of the permanent collections at esteemed institutions such as the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, the Museum Of Sacred Art in Durbuy, Belgium, the Cultural International Festival of Miniature & Illumination in Tlemcen, Algeria and the One Asia Project in Auroville, Pondicherry. His career exemplifies dedication and mastery, creating art that resonates across borders and cultures.

40Years of Experience

Description

"A Blooming Portrait reimagines regal grace through a symphony of flora and form. At the centre, a noble figure stands poised in quiet dignity, framed by an intricate floral border that blossoms with life. Each petal and leaf, painted with exquisite precision, becomes a metaphor for refinement, beauty, and the eternal rhythm of nature.

In this composition, Mahaveer Swami brings together two great Mughal traditions—the art of portraiture and the botanical miniature. His meticulous brushwork and delicate use of pure gold illuminate the page, infusing the work with both majesty and serenity. The painting is a celebration of harmony between man and nature, an enduring hallmark of the Mughal aesthetic.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

Merges Mughal portraiture with intricate botanical detailing
Hand-painted using natural pigments and pure gold ink on handmade paper
Exemplifies Mahaveer Swami’s mastery of composition and refinement
Perfect for collectors drawn to classical elegance and historical artistry
