Biography
Subodh Maheshwari was born in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, North India where she learned folk art and classical music. She passionately believes:
“In the threshold of my life, my
present is the window to the
past and a key to the future".
She acquired her degrees and studied art at Agra University, California State University of Fullerton, and the University of California Irvine. Subodh has won numerous awards, including the regional Fellowship Award at UCI in 1986, the Bharat Gaurav Award in India in 2015, and the 60 Masters Award in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. She is also registered in Marquis "Who's Who in America," the standard in biographical information. Her paintings have also won awards in a variety of categories including landscape, open, all women, nature, elements, seasons, and abstract.
Subodh is a diversified artist who enjoys telling stories through her artwork, whether it is through landscape, flowers, or abstract art. Her art is a fusion of Eastern symbolism and Western composition, influenced by 16th and 17th century Rajasthani and Mogul art, and accented by poetry, passages, and phrases in Hindi, Sanskrit, and English. She admires Georgia O'keeffe for her floral influence, and Frida Kahlo for her courage. Whether it is the serene beauty of nature, her spirituality, or the current political climate, she finds inspiration. Having a life shared between India and America, she sees the beautiful similarities, like love which transcends all borders. Highly individual in her style, her works are described as emotional, mysterious, personal, spiritual, and humorous.
Subodh often takes inspiration from love, or rather, the lack of it in the world. She has seen the societal changes over the years and has taken notice to what is happening in our world. She expresses her thoughts out into her work with the use of symbolic color, depicting social issues, lack of respect, women's rights, racial issues, and global warming.
Subodh has participated in many shows, both nationally and internationally, including the fourth Cosmopolitan Exhibition in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, Asiamania! 2018 in Seoul, the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in Chelsea, NY, the Indian Art Festival in 2014, and several years at Art Expo in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.
“Subodh is a contemporary master who
bathes her artwork in glistening pools of
saturated hues, capturing the ethereal
beauty of timeless vitality of the world".
“My paintings give me space to feel
and express my visual delight in color,
shape and form."
