Sonjaye Maurya is an eminent artist with international recognition and is also a team member of ‘Indian Art Promoters’ (Kalaa Spandan Art Fair).
A master painter, a colourful persona, an artist with a difference, a painter who always has good in mind for the artists and works towards their development and promotion. Sonjaye Maurya is an inspiring story of a self-taught artist, a businessman who shut down all his business and decided to follow his passion for art and to dedicate his life to art and artists. A story of rise to success in a short span of five and half years with dedication, devotion, proper planning and understanding of business, marketing, branding etc. He is also a photographer, a traveler, a writer and a poet.
His works have a mysterious quality... a magical touch that makes them stand apart from the works of other contemporary artists. Everything that he paints has a deep meaning and message in it. May it be Buddha or even if he is painting fishes or a landscape. His works are many a times a transformation from realistic to abstract and vice versa.
He deals with artistic perceptions about the human feelings and the different realms of life. His works explore the artistic transition from traditional to modern in vibrant colour palettes. His paintings reflect on fantasies and dreams
Sonjaye Maurya is also one of the pioneer Indian Contemporary artists working on ‘Buddha’.
Sonjaye Maurya has many national and international awards to his credit, including many Golds, prestigious ‘Kala Ratn’ and ‘Swami Vivekanand Excellence Award’ by Ministry of Sports and Youth affairs. But he says… Best is yet to come. He is also a ‘World Peace’ and ‘World Humanity’ Ambassador. He is not insecure and egoistic. He loves to spread love and happiness. His group ‘Creative Art Affairs’ has been recognized by ‘WALHAC’ (World Academy of Literature, History, art and Culture)- Maxico. His works have been appreciated by world renowned personalities like Padamshree, Padma Bhushan Indian Sculptor Ram V. Sutar, who also designed the world’s tallest ‘Statue of Unity’, FIAS International (USA), Pujya Mahant Swami of BAPS International (Swami Narayan Temple) and many others.
He has been conferred with a Doctorate Degree (Honoris Causa) by ‘Balkanoffantastica’ from Croatia, Yugoslavia, recently.
