Mihir Kayal's work blends figurative precision with abstraction, capturing the human form through bold, non-complementary colors and confident linework that divide his canvases into layered, textured compositions. He works at the intersection of realism and abstraction, using color to convey emotion and space to build depth and tension across the canvas.
His artistic journey has been defined by persistence — building a career from modest beginnings into a body of work shown across eleven solo exhibitions, including "Jamini" at Chhobi-o-Ghor Art Gallery, inaugurated by artist Shuvaprasanna. Over nearly a decade, Kayal has used his art to chronicle Indian society's resilience and struggle, particularly women's stories of inequality and self-empowerment, through recurring symbols like fish (prosperity) and ducks (self-care).
His growth as an artist reflects steady evolution in technique and voice, earning him the Suhas Samman award in 2012 and collectors across India, the U.S., Brazil, Japan, and Switzerland.
