Rahul Maharjan

Rahul Maharjan is a Kathmandu based artist who resides in the streets of Bafal. He spent most of his childhood in the circle of his cultural and religious practices. His early introduction of art was through the hymns that were sung by his grandfather. Later he started his art journey through Artudio, and enrolled in Kathmandu University School of arts at Hattiban where he graduated in 2022 with a bachelor degree of fine arts inStudio Art. He depicts his experiences and his imaginations into his canvases. His subjects are the compilation of vague questions that arrive in his artistic practice which is a result of nuances of information throughout his learning. He attempts to find a reason for his own thinking through his paintings, and his motive is to dwell into those unwanted findings.

He is inspired by the artwork of children and also intends to copy the characteristics that children carry while creating their artwork. He has coordinated various art workshops for children organized by different organizations including Marga Community as well as Artudio. His intention towards these workshops is to stay close to the artworks of the children and get mesmerized by their enthusiasm.

Artist Statement
My work revolves around a quest to find alternative ideas in the existing elements in our daily life. He aims to find harmony and contrast between nature and our own life. I am intrigued by the usage of colors in day to day life. I express my own experiences and try to explore different possibilities to portray my ideas. I call myself a keen painter, to learn about colors and layering in a painting.
