Mukesh Salvi (1984) has received his B.F.A and M.F.A in Painting from the Rajasthan School of Art, Jaipur (2006, 2008). Brought up in Udaipur, Salvi's paintings depict folk and rural themes that are inspired by his surroundings. His vibrant colours are reminiscent of the folk art of the region, rendered in stylized figures and romanticized countenances. He uses a distinct overlay technique in his paintings that present the viewer with a large picture while also giving them more to explore on looking closer. Salvi has been a part of several group shows in New Delhi, Bangalore, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Bhopal, among others. The artist resides in Udaipur.
