Painter, sculptor, muralist, architect and interior designer, Satish Gujral has been described as a true 'renaissance artist' whose work marks a lifelong journey of experimentation within a range of media and forms of expression. During a time when Western ideals were affecting and influencing Indian art, Gujral was creating his very own aesthetic full of Indian symbology. Texture and color became as important as the subject itself, as evidenced in this striking early collage.
