Devvrat Vishwakarma

I am Devvrat Vishwakarma, an artist based in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. My work moves between the quiet landscapes of the Himalayan foothills and paintings rooted in Indian spiritual and social life.

I paint mountains, villages, forests and golden light. I also paint the women who hold families and communities together, and the goddesses and the idea of Mother India that I grew up with. Balance, nurture and devotion run through much of my work, in pieces like Nurturing The Earth, Balanced Life, Saraswati and Bharat Mata.

Alongside these larger figurative and spiritual works, I paint smaller landscapes and still-life drawings. Every painting is an original and one of a kind.
