Viveek Sharma was born 1968 in Mumbai, India. Lives and works in Mumbai, India and Zurich, Switzerland.

Viveek Sharma is regarded as the painter of metaphors. He is one of India’s most renowned artists and is represented internationally. After graduating from the renowned J.J. School of Arts in Mumbai, Sharma initially concentrated on drawing. This technique still forms the basis of his work today. Since 2005, the artist has been painting photorealistic pictures (often large-format) in which he reflects and visualizes his impressions, emotions and experiences or actual events. He discovers many of his motifs in his home city of Mumbai or on his numerous trips abroad. These three paintings here in the auction belong to his latest series “Travel Sketches”, which are created directly at the place where the artist is currently traveling.  

His works can be found in important public and private international collections.
