Anant Mishra

Anant Mishra is a contemporary artist who completed his BFA and MFA in Painting from the College of Art, Delhi. During his formative years, Anant travelled across India, engaging with diverse regional art traditions that continue to inform his visual language.
His works bring together fragments of urban life and mythological imagination. Through drawings and paintings populated with anthropomorphic figures and exaggerated forms, he creates surreal, symbolic worlds where contemporary narratives intersect with mythic references.
The artist exhibited widely in India and internationally, including presentations at the India Art Fair and exhibitions with Religare Arts and the Floodlight Foundation. His works have also been commissioned by institutions such as the Lok Sabha and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.
He is the recipient of the H. K. Kejriwal Young Artist Award and the All India National Award. The artist currently lives and works in New Delhi, where he continues to develop a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, sculpture, installation, and new media.
