About Artist Promotion & Development
At Mahua Art Gallery, I’ve spent more than twenty years building a space where artists and their stories get seen and heard. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the art world for ages, I’m all about giving contemporary Indian artists a real shot at connecting with people who get what they’re trying to say.
Emerging Artists: Real Opportunities
- If you’re new, you get a chance to show your work in curated group shows and even alongside some big names in the scene.
- I make it a point to feature fresh voices in our "Art Annual" and through our social media and website, so your art isn’t just gathering dust somewhere.
- Expect real feedback, honest exposure, and a chance to build your own following.
HK Kejriwal Young Artist Award
- This is for artists under 40. I team up with the HK Kejriwal Foundation to find and celebrate major new talent in painting, sculpture, digital art, and photography.
- Winning means a cash prize, a Certificate of Merit, and your work in a big winners’ show with solid press coverage.
Established Artists: Respect and Reach
- I don’t just focus on newcomers. If you’re already established, there’s space here for solo shows and ongoing features—basically, your work gets its due.
Our Platforms
- Shows happen at our Bangalore galleries and The Leela Palace, but I also push for a strong digital art portfolio promotion through our website and social media.
- Everything’s built around connecting art to people, with no fuss and no jargon—just real platforms for real artists.

My Story
We started Mahua Art Gallery in Bangalore about 20 years back. Not just for selling art, but to give a real home to contemporary Indian artists. You’ll find everything here - city chaos, rural calm, spiritual journeys - all captured by artists who live and breathe their work. Our HK Kejriwal Young Artist Award is us rooting for new voices. Feels good to see them grow. Mahua’s not just walls with frames, it’s a adda (hangout) for anyone who loves art.
My Work

Spotlight on Artists - We connect emerging Indian artists and known masters with collectors and art fans.
Exhibitions & Events - Regular solo and group shows, annual art showcases, and events for the art community.
Nurturing Young Talent - Our HK Kejriwal Young Artist Award helps launch new artists into the art scene.
Art for Every Space - From abstract Indian paintings to folk styles, we’ve got art for every mood and home.
