Himmat Shah Indian, b. 1933

Overview
“Human being is an enigma, and what he creates should also be all enigma.”
-Himmat Shah

Himmat Shah (b.1933) is a renowned sculptor from Lothal, Gujarat. He completed his Bachelor's degree from the Faculty of Fine Arts of M.S. University Baroda.
Shah is best known for his abstracted heads in terracotta and bronze that display self-deprecating and symbolise rut and decay. His earlier works were abstract paintings with simple lines drawn representing a complex concept.
In 2003 he was conferred with the Kalidasa Samman by the Government of Madhya Pradesh. Shah also received the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society Award and the Sahitya Kala Parishad Award. He has displayed his work all over.
