User:Rameshwar singh

Rameshwar Singh was born on 5th February 1948, in Rajasthan (India) and received M.A. in Drawing & Painting in 1982. Since his childhood, he had a fascination for antiquity and passion to paint or write something. After obtaining Bechlor's degree, he decided to become a freelance artist. He started with abstract but slowly switched to figurative. He paints bold figures, bodies halved into the shapes of human, and animal, objects fly around, in his own typical style, which gave him recognition. Art Critic says that he hardly leaves any empty space on canvass but tries to decorate every object with calligraphic textures, inscribed in the form of recollected images, songs, and stories.

Rameshwar Singh uses different scriptures like Arabic, Persian, Urdu, English, Sanskrit & Hindi. An antique Roman clock usually features in his paintings. Sometimes he draws a line with a shadow, cutting across the canvass, which gives a sense of perspective to the painting. He has depicted different forms of Lord Ganesha, Krishna, Sun & Goddess Durga.

There is a long list of the awards and honours, bestowed on him. He has exhibited his paintings in more than 50 solo shows conducted all over the country. But, the people say, he is shy and remains away from the media and that is why he could not get his dues so far.
