Vijay Kiyawat

In 2019, Goldman Sachs India acquired 11 of my works for their newly built corporate office in India. Among possessors of around 140 works of mine are senior corporate executives from Disney, Deutsche Bank, Boston Consulting Group, Bank Of Tokyo, JLL etc.; academicians, diplomats, and art collectors.
India's leading Mumbai based auction house AstaGuru regularly auctions my works.
I primarily do Watercolors. These are story/philosophy based, involving strong imaginary compositions, and a bit of surrealism. The inspiration comes from literature, nature study, and worldwide travels. The paintings are soft, serene, and vibrant. The admirers describe these as "Happy Paintings".
