Mukesh Singh Bisht has been devoted to the art of watercolour since his earliest years. His journey began in 2000 at Jalandhar, Punjab, where his dedication to painting quickly became evident through multiple awards and recognitions in state and inter-state competitions. From childhood to the present day, watercolour has remained his chosen medium, a constant companion that defines his artistic identity.
Unlike many artists who experiment with different mediums, Mukesh Singh Bisht never shifted away from watercolour. He embraced it not just as a hobby but as a lifelong passion. With no formal degree in fine arts, his artistry is self-taught — built on years of dedication, practice, and exploration. This independence gave him the freedom to create a unique style that is bold yet sensitive, imaginative yet grounded in reality.
His paintings cover a wide spectrum of subjects, from serene landscapes and bustling cityscapes to tranquil seascapes, florals, boats, trains, and live compositions. Many of his works are born from imagination, where everyday moments transform into expressive stories through fluid washes and bold strokes. Sometimes calm and meditative, sometimes dramatic and vibrant, his art reflects the wide emotional range of life itself.
His paintings have been showcased internationally, reaching audiences in India, USA, Romania, Georgia, England, Germany, Iran, and Poland. Over the years, he has been honoured with numerous awards in painting competitions, starting with his first recognition in 2000. These achievements reflect not only his talent but also his resilience and consistency in staying true to his chosen medium.
Technically, he often prefers using Camlin Kokuyo colours, natural hair mop brushes, and Indian handmade papers. His techniques include wet-into-wet, wet-on-dry, and dry brush, which allow him to create depth, atmosphere, and mood with remarkable subtlety. Collectors and admirers often describe his style as free, emotional, and deeply connected to nature and life.
For Mukesh Singh Bisht, every painting is more than just a visual composition — it is a story told through colours, a dialogue between memory and imagination, and a reflection of his own artistic journey. His guiding belief remains simple yet profound: never quit your passion, no matter the situation.
Through his work, he hopes to inspire viewers and bring them the joy of experiencing watercolour — not only as a medium of art but as a way of seeing and feeling the world.
