Jyoti Bhatt was born in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, and studied painting and printmaking at MS University in Baroda. His work is a fusion of academic study, traditional Indian folk designs, and Western art movements like Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. Bhatt's interest in fresco and mural painting techniques led him to explore the relationship between art and craft, while his time studying in Italy and New York exposed him to new artistic ideas. His art often reflects Tantric philosophy and the dynamic principles of Shiva-Shakti, connecting the cosmic and human realms.Icon under the Sun is an amalgamation of these various inspirations.
