S.H. Raza's art journey spanned from early nature-inspired watercolours to abstract geometric compositions, deeply influenced by his childhood in Madhya Pradesh and his time in Paris. His iconic *bindu* symbol encapsulates his fusion of spirituality with modern art, making him a pioneering figure in Indian contemporary art.
