"Me and Balcony" Drawing

Visual Artist | Painter I am Mukesh Sharma, a visual artist with over twenty-five years of dedicated painting practice. I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting, and my artistic journey has evolved through continuous exploration of both traditional and contemporary visual languages. I work with watercolour, oil, acrylic, and mixed media, drawing deep inspiration from nature, animals, birds, and still life. These subjects form the foundation of my practice, allowing me to observe, reflect, and translate the rhythms of the natural world onto canvas. In my modern works, my approach moves toward surrealism, where familiar forms dissolve into imaginative spaces, inviting the viewer to experience reality through emotion, memory, and symbolism. My work has been presented in numerous national and international group exhibitions across India, the United States, Canada, and beyond. Alongside my studio practice, I have actively participated in cultural festivals, traveling exhibitions, and interdisciplinary collaborations, particularly with theatre and performance groups. My engagement with theatre, animation, and visual storytelling has deeply influenced my painting, lending it narrative depth and a cinematic sensibility.
