His art reflects the inner soul of Mumbai. The
city is his greatest inspiration, he says. And it is truly remarkable how
artist Raj More captures the details of every element of both, crude and
sophisticated Mumbai in his works. An interesting thing about his art is that anyone
could relate to it. His work speaks the parlance of diversity. He builds
connects with people from all walks of life and translates them on to the
canvas.
His love affair with the city began after he
moved to Mumbai a few years ago. He says he loves to explore the city and this reflects in his work. ‘Every urban city
in the world has a soul of its own and talks to you,that’s why I always express
this as the language of my work, ‘Raj says

He also talks about how the ‘’Bull’’in his works represents the power of the city,
creating a vast gap between the rich and the poor. The animals in his works are
not just seen as they are,but have a deep-rooted connection that goes beyond
