Jamshedpur, Dec 1: Jamshedpur is set to witness a landmark moment in its art landscape as celebrated painter Bijay Biswaal arrives in the city for the first time to guide young artists at the upcoming Prakriti Residential Art Workshop, organised by Prakriti Fine Arts Academy.
Hailing from Nagpur, Biswaal left a stable career in Indian Railways to pursue his passion for art—a journey that has since earned him national acclaim.
His evocative paintings, known for their breathtaking realism and emotional depth, capture everyday life with cinematic clarity.
His work has drawn praise from none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who mentioned him in the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme, further cementing his status as one of India’s most inspiring contemporary artists.
