Mr. Vora was born on October 20th, 1950 in Rajkot city which is in the state of Gujarat, in India. He views art as God’s gift to him. In his early childhood, instead of playing with toys he spent most of his time drawing and painting. His favorite toys were indeed different shades of colors, watercolors, paints, brushes, and art paper. He also loved music and took classes in classical Indian music. His favorite musical instrument was ‘harmonium’ which he mastered when he was only 12 years old. During high school, art continued to be his primary focus which enabled him to pass the intermediate class exam in art drawing in first class, only at the age of 15.
He went on to complete and obtain his Diploma in Fine Arts in 1978 at C.N. College in Ahmedabad city. Today, he is a widely known artist in the region and some of his popular works are in watercolor abstract painting, village sceneries, figurative sketches, oil color paintings, and most recently computerized digital paintings. With over 40 years of experience in art, he has a massive collection of art which includes over 1000 water color paintings, 150 oil paintings, 1000 small card paintings, and over 70,000 ink sketch paintings.
During the course of his vast and successful career in art, he was won several prizes, awards, and recognition throughout India. He has held many exhibitions and his work are promptly displayed in prominent galleries in the region. His recent exhibition in Rajkot was a huge success for a one-man show, drawing a mammoth crowd that included VIPs, dignitaries, and art-lovers which was opened by the state finance minister Mr. Vala. Since then, his work has been highlighted and received much press-media coverage, All India Radio, and many other media outlets throughout India.
Painting has always been his true passion, but not his primary profession. He currently owns and runs an optometry business.
