Abid Shaikh

I am Abid Shaikh, an Indian contemporary fine artist and a graduate of Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai (B.F.A. in Painting, 2002). For over 25 years, I have dedicated my career to creating original oil paintings and exhibiting my work across India.

My artistic journey includes several solo exhibitions at Jehangir Art Gallery, Museum Art Gallery, Sumukha Art Gallery, BCA Art Gallery, Global Art Fair, and participation in the India Art Festival and numerous group exhibitions in India and abroad. My works are held in private collections both in India and internationally.

Over the years, I have been honoured with several prestigious awards, including the Harmony Excellence Award for Emerging Artist, the Camel Art Foundation First Award, the Maharashtra State Award for Best Portrait, the Art Society of India Award, and the V.V.
