Biography
June 8th, 2007What is Shri Mourya, (Baba) as an artist? His personality may be better highlighted if we ask the question, what he is not….and, to call Baba an artist grossly falls short of the sum total of his personality as it fails to capture the subtle nuances of his reflective, creative and expressive personality. To my mind, to sum it up in one sentence, instead of being a disciple of one art, for the sake of being an artist, he is an artist of pure expression. He uses not just one, but any art that is the right medium to express his particular inner reflection as creativity. The creative personality of this young artist eludes the norms of usual expression in the intellectual and creative field of art. Baba is such a charismatic artist of expression that unless one has seen and known him, it is hard to fathom the expanse of his works. In the field of arts if one were to ask the question as to what he is, it may be easier to describe as to what he is not. Babaji was born with a humble background in a small town called Rajgarh, in the state of Madhya Pradesh, in India in the year 1965. His father was a primary school teacher and Babaji was mostly on his own to fend for his education through ‘earn and learn’ from a very young age. This was partly responsible for developing his multifaceted skills. In short, Babaji is an artist in the truest of senses, as a poet, a performer, an orator, a singer and a painter. Let us explore his different facets.
