Vijay Kiyawat’s Solo Exhibition: “Monks” Legends & Traditions”
Acclaimed contemporary artist Vijay Kiyawat presents his latest solo exhibition, unveiling a mesmerising collection of watercolour paintings that embody his signature blend of optimism, serenity, and surrealism. With works gracing esteemed corporate spaces in the country and abroad, Kiyawat’s art continues to transcend borders and inspire audiences worldwide.
Kiyawat’s much-anticipated solo exhibition, ‘Monks: Legends and Traditions’, will be held at Jehangir Art Gallery from 24th February to 2nd March. This series delves into the profound world of spirituality, capturing the essence of monastic life through his intense, meditative, and soulful watercolours. Each piece invites the viewer into a realm of contemplation and inner peace, reflecting Kiyawat’s deep engagement with the ethereal and the philosophical.
Having established himself as an IIT engineer and corporate professional, Kiyawat successfully integrated his analytical precision with his artistic pursuits. The mentorship of acclaimed artists, Manish Pushkale, Vasundhara Tewari Broota, the late Surinder Kaur, Rajesh Sharma, Julie Cohn, and Raymond Yap, has shaped his work into a distinctive representation of colour, light, and emotion. His compositions, influenced by nature, literature, and his wide-ranging travels, possess a dreamlike quality, which has led to their being called Happy Paintings.
Beyond the canvas, Kiyawat’s creative pursuits extend to music and nature, as an accomplished pianist and avid birdwatcher. His latest exhibition is a testament to the enduring power of art to uplift, inspire, and create a world of wonder.
