| Bio | Artist Naveen Soni hails from a family of traditional artists in Bhilwara, Rajasthan. He was trained from a young age by his grandfather, Shilp Guru Shri Badrilal Chitrakaar—a National Awardee in Miniature and Pichwai Art—and his father, Shri Sharad Soni. His natural talent was nurtured in a culturally rich environment, deeply rooted in traditional artistry. Naveen is a versatile artist who works in various classical styles such as Udaipur, Nathdwara, Bundi, Kishangarh, Kota, Kangra, Basholi, Pahari, Mughal, and Jain schools, as well as in contemporary forms. Naveen regards the traditional art of Pichwai painting as his cultural inheritance and strives to blend tradition with modernity. He has continued the unbroken legacy of creating richly hued Pichwai artworks on cloth and paper using natural stone pigments and gold leaf. His Pichwai paintings beautifully depict the intricate and ever-changing Shringar (adornments) of Lord Krishna, enriched with imaginative use of decorative elements, motifs, and accessories. Constantly exploring new artistic expressions, Naveen has also experimented by fusing contemporary and miniature styles to create aesthetically unique artworks. He has showcased his work in numerous exhibitions across India.
