Mahaveer Swami

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.

Description

Elegance of the White Bridled Horse portrays a poised and noble horse captured with clarity and precision. Mahaveer Swami paints the horse in profile, shaping the long neck, sharp jawline and expressive eye with fine ink strokes that highlight its calm strength. The braided mane follows the curve of the neck in tight, rhythmic segments that add structure and refinement.

The decorative bridle is enriched with gold detailing, tassels and small ornaments that create a graceful balance between ornamentation and natural form. A soft feather rises above the head, adding height and a gentle sense of motion. The long pink chest tassel flows downward in delicate lines that introduce colour and elegance to the composition.

The old handmade paper lends a warm, organic surface that enhances the smooth shading across the horse’s form. The controlled use of natural black ink creates clear contours while allowing subtle tonal transitions to shape the expression.

It is a miniature defined by grace, precision and classical beauty.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • A refined profile capturing the noble presence of a white horse
  • Delicate gold ornaments add richness without overwhelming the form
  • Fine ink work defines the mane, bridle and expressive feature
  • Ideal for collectors who appreciate elegant, equestrian miniature art
