Take the case of Ram Onkar, a self-taught artist. Fascinated by the spiritual forms in India, many of his paintings focus on iconic religious figures like Buddha and Krishna. Ram Onkar would not have pursued a career in art if not for his teacher who motivated him. He has won many awards and has had over 30 solo and group shows, some of which form part of the collection of the President of Pakistan, Sahara Amby Valley, Walchands and numerous institutions/individuals of India.
