Manjit Bawa was born in Dhuri, Punjab in the year 1941.
Manjit Bawa canvases are distinguishable in their colors - the ochre of sunflowers, the green of the paddy fields, the red of the sun, the blue of the mountain sky. He was one of the first painters to break out of the dominant grays and browns and opted for more traditionally Indian colors like pinks, reds and violet. Nature is Bawa’s greatest inspiration. Birds and animals make a constant appearance in his paintings, either alone or in human company. Besides nature, the flute is a recurring motif in his works. Bawa has predominantly painted Krishna, Kali and Shiva, who he feels are the icons of his country.
