Umesh Kumar Saxena is among the leading contemporary artists of India who have earned respect for their work within and outside India.

Umesh creates what may be termed poetry of colours.  His horizon is wide, which combines his vision, aesthetics, craft, and is beyond what is visible to eye in isolation. It’s deeper than the colours he uses though they appeal even to the untrained eyes. His creations are not just observations.  They evince his insight.

At the zenith of his creativity today, Umesh  Saxena’s work stands out, winning critics’ and connoisseurs’ acclaim, viewers’ fancy and buyers’ interest, all alike.

Born in Lucknow in 1957, Umesh took to colours when very young.  Later , even while a student, he showed the spark, winning award every year in College of Arts, Lucknow.
