Gopal Sharma hails from the City of Lakes, Udaipur. He lives here with his family. He has been working in the field of miniature art for the past many years. He has added many praise-worthy artworks to his portfolio.

Gopal says that as a kid he would see his father work extremely hard. Looking at his father’s struggle he was determined to do something that could change the status-quo. He wasn’t much inclined toward studies so he tried his hands in many professions like stitching clothes, working as a mechanic etc. He says that whilst he was working as a mechanic situations were not favourable so he left it. Later he became interested in arts.

Though he had started painting at an early age whilst he was in the 6th standard, to pursue it full-time he went out of Udaipur. He worked for 6 years out of Udaipur for different people. But later he realized that he wasn’t getting the reward in proportion to the hard work he was putting in. So he decided to be an independent artist. As an independent artist he has done many artworks and some of his artworks have been highly acclaimed. Initially he did miniature paintings but later he took to mughal style of painting. His mughal style of painting was appreciated by people and he got many assignments based on that style.

Gopal has also worked for the famous industrialist Gautam Adani. He adorned Mr. Adani’s bungalow with his art-work.

Gopal feels that struggles are a part of life. Everyone has their own share of struggles. He too has slogged a lot. He would work till 2 am in the morning to finish his paintings. He says that painting requires a lot of time to complete.

To anyone who wants to be an artist Gopal advises that one should be really patient. As painting requires a lot of patience to complete. If one is fully interested in one’s work then one can achieve success in one’s career.

Gopal says that especially in today’s times education is indispensable. Whatever field you choose to pursue a career in, education is a must. Experience in life is also important.

Gopal considers his father his source of inspiration. He says that his father has worked very hard in his life and that’s what inspires him.

Even if he could go back in time and undo something, Gopal would want to be an artist only. But first he would want to complete his education.

Besides his profession, Gopal likes to visit new places with his family.
