Sobre el Artista

I did MA in history and accidentally went into cartooning. I was a professional cartoonist all through my life. I did not go to any art school, from my childhood days I had been drawing on my own. I started my career as a lecturer and switched to work as a cartoonist for a weekly. Then went on to daily. I worked in the print media for over sixteen years and came into multimedia as a graphic consultant. Over a period of 25 years I have illustrated over 1000 books for children and various assorted books. I have also written, illustrated and published six children books. My caricatures have been syndicated to a very popular syndicate. My comics strips without captions had been syndicated to over 25 news papers. I done commissioned caricatures of Prime ministers, Chief ministers and CEOs of many companies. I love spot caricaturing. Unique themes, strong lines, order and harmony in forms, related color schemes, inter-connectedness of the human form and natural elements, universal love – all are characteristic of Gujjar’s style. He draws his inspiration from the early masters of modern art; the Bengal and the Bombay school of paintings and blends them to give a distinct flavour that does not find catagorization. The free spirit that he is, Gujjar likes it that way. As a true student of mother nature and the arts, Gujjar says he is discovering something new every day and his best is yet to come.
