Ajay Garg (Indian, b. 1967)

Miniature Paintings

A native of Rajasthan, India, Ajay Garg uses a magnifying glass and a single-haired brush to produce masterful miniature paintings, which resonate with the rich history of visual storytelling in India. Garg began studying traditional miniature painting at the age of ten with Asha Devi. He uses gouache, watercolor and gold paint on found paper to create kaleidoscopic wonderlands of people, animals, plants and patterns. From lovely peasant girls to Hindu deities, Garg’s subjects are brought to life through his painstaking attention to content, composition, and exquisite detail.
