Mark Briscoe studied the art of traditional Indian miniature painting in the city of Udaipur, situated in the Northern Indian state of Rajasthan.

He studied under the guidance of R. K. Sharma; a renowned miniaturist living in Udaipur who taught him the fundamental techniques of Indian painting. After spending many months learning with Sharma, Briscoe went on to develop some highly original techniques of his own that have a dazzling effect and lend themselves perfectly to the classical themes of Indian art.

He has worked on a number of prestigious projects including some murals in the Juhu beach residence of Rajesh Shah, the owner of Mukand steel in Bombay. He also spent some time working on several projects at the palatial Poona residence of Sri Mataji Nirmala Devi. There he painted some more murals and a very large ceiling painting in one of the main halls displaying a colourful floral network of spiralling arabesques, a project which took several months with a large team of artists.

In 1998 he was commissioned some works for Lord Swaraj Paul who, as Guest of honour, opened Briscoe's exhibition at the Nehru Centre in Mayfair, London. It was organised by Ramola Bachchan, the sister-in-law of the Indian Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, she has organised several exhibitions of his work through her Knightsbridge based company RB Promotions. Briscoe's works may today be found in private art collections throughout the world.

The Indian paintings of Mark Drake-Briscoe are in the style of kangra valley, kishangar, mughal ( mugal ) Rajasthani art of India. Fine art from India.


Signed limited edition prints are available for many of the paintings.
