Murali Lahoti




Murali Lahoti is a man of many parts….and almost impossible to profile with a mere handful of words strung together. Born in 1945 in Parli Vaijnath, near Aurangabad, Lahoti ran away from home with eleven rupees in his pocket to pursue his passion. Working as a waiter and a sign-painter to pay for his education, his hunger for painting and his incredible hard-work saw him hold 12 one-man shows before he was done with his training!



A tireless and prolific artist, muralist and painter, Murali Lahoti firmly believes that a formal education in fine-art and painting can only take you thus far. From his own personal experience, reading, travelling and sincere hard work are the real stepping stones to inspiration and success.

Murali Lahoti uses the most lyrical description to explain his inspiration for the Cosmic Creation series.... "If you watch a leaf drift from a tree slowly to the ground, you will be mesmerized by its’ almost dance like rhythm as it spirals downwards. This is the same divine dynamism of Energy in Motion that can be experienced in every aspect of creation....This is my inspiration for my work in the 'Cosmic Creation' series..."
