Shivaraj M Artist

Shivaraj M, a graduate of the prestigious Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts (CAVA) in Mysore, holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A) and has emerged as a significant voice in contemporary art. Rooted in animism, his work reflects the belief that all elements of nature possess a spirit and life force. Shivaraj uses animals, insects, and all living creatures to express human experiences and emotions, employing a unique form of visual storytelling that explores the interconnectedness of life.
​
His art is a journey into the soul of his subjects, whether it be a portrait, landscape, or conceptual piece. By blending the natural world with human emotion, Shivaraj creates paintings that invite viewers to pause and reflect on the unseen forces that shape our reality. His work often depicts the delicate balance of life, transformation, and the beauty in everyday moments, encouraging a deeper engagement with the environment and our place within it.
​
With a combination of technical skill and animistic vision, Shivaraj M continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art. His visual storytelling transcends mere visual experiences, offering profound narratives that resonate deeply with viewers. As he continues to evolve as an animistic art...
