Paramjit Singh

Paramjit Singh (b. 1935) was born in Amritsar, Punjab, and studied Fine Arts at the Delhi Polytechnic.
In the 1960s, He travelled to Norway to study printmaking at Atelier Nord. A childhood in rural India led to pastoral scenes being at the heart of his work. His style moves between realism and abstraction, creating contemplative spaces far removed from the chaos of urbanity. In 1970, he received the
National Award from the Lalit Kala Akademi.

He taught at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, where he
later served as a Professor Emeritus. The artist currently lives and works in New Delhi.
