Das Geheimnis der Bäume

About the author

Bhajju Shyam lives and works in Bhopal in central India. Like most Gond children he grew up helping his mother paint the walls of their village home. Bhajju's family was too poor to keep him on in school, so when he turned sixteen, he came to the city of Bhopal in search of work. He worked at several odd jobs, before becoming an artist's apprentice. Bhajju's prowess as an independent artist grew quickly, and in 2001 he received a state award for Best Indigenous Artist. His work has also been exhibited in the UK, Germany, Holland and Russia.
