And what makes his paintings special are that they are based on poems of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
Displaying his water colour, pen and ink drawings framed with poems of Prime Minister Modi at Work Hut 786, Samir has been regularly putting up exhibitions at art galleries, “ Through this Mela, I wanted to introduce serious art among visitors and connect with more people.”
A graduate of Fine Arts from College of Art, New Delhi, Samir got his real break when he made drawings based on former Prime Minister A.B Vajpayee’s hindi poetry. He further adds that my biggest achievement is that my drawings are on display at 7 Race Course, residence of Prime Minister.
He has also given colours to the poetry of known poet-writer Gulzar. “The jugalbandi of lyrics and brush is a unique combination. I try giving words shapes with my colours,” adds Samir, who has his latest works along with books penned by Modi on sale at the Mela. His works are priced at Rs 1,20,000-Rs 2,50,000.
