Harshavardhana Swaminathan

Born in the year 1958 within the vibrant embrace of New Delhi, S. Harshavardhana’s artistic lineage was profoundly influenced by his father, the acclaimed artist Jagdish Swaminathan. Harshavardhana’s academic pursuit led him to secure a post-graduate degree in bio-sciences from the esteemed Birla Institute of Science & Technology in Pilani. Manifesting a profound affinity for tribal art, Harshavardhana adorns his canvas with abstract geometric entities. His artistic narrative revolves around a delicate interplay of colors and palettes, meticulously employed on both paper and canvas, resulting in a lucid and compelling abstract repertoire. Among the recurring elements within his work, textured geometric figures and inverted triangles hold prominence. These elements not only reflect the influence of tribal art and its symbols, but also resonate with the concepts of Yin and Yang, imparting a captivating allure to his creations. Harshavardhana’s artistic excellence has been duly recognized, with the prestigious Raza Award adorning his achievements.
