Dr Vijay Kumar Yadhav G

– BVA, MVA

From my earliest moments, art has been my guiding light, an innate passion that has shaped my life’s trajectory.

My journey began with simple gestures and realistic portraits, a natural inclination towards capturing the essence of the world around me.

This innate talent propelled me towards a formal education in art, where I excelled, earning a gold medal in my master’s program at Karnataka Chitrakala Parishad Bangalore.

What sets me apart is my versatility, my ability to seamlessly work with over 160 mediums.

This mastery, coupled with my unwavering dedication to art, has led me to create over 10000 hyper realistic paintings and 50000 portraits.
