SHIVRAJ S BHUJANGE

Shivraj was one of the most renowned artists of the karnataka state. Shivraj was born on 01st June 1980 into a large, working-class Hindu family in the town of Bhalki in the state of Karnataka, The instability of the family’s financial situation meant that Shivraj received largely informal education and despite gaining admittance to The Ideal Fine Art Institute, Gulbarga in 2005, he was unable to take up his place. Three years later Shivraj finally moved to Bangalore where he worked as BG Painting artist that advertised the thriving cartoon film industry. 

At night he worked for his own paintings, eventually achieving recognition as an artist in 2008 when his own work was exhibited at the “One Man Show Rang Mandir Raichur 2008”. 

Shivraj became one of the most popular painters in Karnataka with a prolific output of work. Soon achieving a national reputation, his works were acquired by museums and galleries. Shivraj drew much of the subject matter for his art from traditional Indian festivals, Drama etc.

A picture they say is as good as thousand words. The human mind deciphers a picture far more easily than any text. The quality of being able to convey any given message using graphics and pictures comes to me instinctively from my childhood days. Even as a kid I was fascinated by the colors around me like nature, animals, birds and God's every beautiful creation. My thoughts use to wonder and appreciate all these amazing things, even a simplest thing like watching a kid who is juggling with mathematics and physics problems or creating sculptures out of sand. To accomplish my passion and merge with my profession,

​I chose DMC, Specialization Diploma, B.F.A (Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts) from MMK College of Visual Arts, Gulbarga University Gulbarga. During this phase I learnt to fine tune my raw skills. Excellence in painting is obtained by first learning, How to play by the rules..? And then forgetting the rules and playing with the beats of my heart. Since then I moved on and demonstrated my creativity in fine art in every domain possible on this earth. Merging my passion with technology.
