Pradeep Bajpai

Based in Lucknow, India, Pradeep Bajpai, 69, is a contemporary artist whose creative practice spans over five decades. A retired banker with an academic background holding an MA in Economics and a PhD in Business Administration, he has dedicated his life to painting as a vital means of self-actualisation. Free from the influence of passing commercial trends, gallery dictates or market preferences, his art remains a pure, uncompromised expression of personal vision. His journey with the medium is lifelong, with his first cherished oil painting dating back to 1970.
Deeply passionate about the arts, his creative worldview is enriched by a life well-lived—steeped in a love for history, books, music, chess, and yoga. Choosing a path of quiet dedication, he deliberately avoids public exhibitions, making the inaugural release of his collection exclusively on Saatchi Art a rare opportunity for international collectors to acquire works that have been quietly perfected in his private studio

MA (Economics), PhD (Business Administration).

I avoid exhibitions and have never exhibited my artworks.
