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

Whisper of the Green Veil captures a quiet moment loaded with attitude. Mahaveer Swami paints the figure as if she has just turned to look back… half curious, half amused, fully aware of her own presence. The soft green drape wraps around her with an easy flow, sprinkled with tiny dotted patterns that keep the eye moving. Her jewellery drops lightly along her neck, arms and back… delicate lines that add rhythm to the pose.

The peacock feathers tucked into her hair steal attention in the subtlest way… a nod to grace, tradition and character. Against a muted slate background, the figure stands out with gentle glow and fine skin shading that shows the artist’s slow, patient strokes. The painting feels intimate… unhurried… almost like she’s letting the viewer into a secret.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • A striking back-turned pose full of charm and quiet confidence
  • Soft greens balanced with fine jewellery detail
  • Subtle use of peacock feathers to add personality
  • Perfect for collectors who love expressive portrait-style miniature
