Born in 1970, lives and works in New Delhi. Neeraj Bakshi completed his BFA from Kashmir University in 1992. Neeraj Bakshi is an artist who has discovered, developed and honed his talent in a comparatively short career, determining his strengths and forte through experimentation and a great deal of practice. His first paintings were landscapes of his own surroundings that offered so much inspiration to a fertile imagination. But whilst Neeraj Bakshi was still studying in the Kashmir University for his BFA in Painting, times changed for the worse, and terrorism invaded the valley full force. This changed Bakshi as a person and an artist, shifting the focus of his paintings from peaceful landscapes to ghastly descriptions of suffering and pain. Neeraj Bakshi has created a fresh and original path for himself, and because of his strong inclination to travel and learn, we can be sure he will never stray from it, only forge ahead, inventing and pioneering as always.
