"My Painting is a poetry that is seen as well as felt."
Vinubhai Trivedi enrolled in the newly established Faculty of Fine Arts at the MS University of Baroda in 1950 as a first batch student. He had already received his lessons in painting from the late Sri Somalal Shah. Vinubhai was one of the faculty's top students and had received high praise from Prof. N.S. Bendre. Vinay Trivedi based his works on the folk rendition of madhubani painting, an ongoing folk tradition in Bihar. Naturally, he added a lyrical touch with rhythm to the Kangra paintings to create a sort of poetic ideal scene and adding embroidery-related folk motifs, a highly developed skill in Saurashtra (Gujarat). Using every color at his disposal, he had been working for years to bring out that lighted brightness.
Vinubhai was hired right away as an illustrator for the project as well as a lecturer in the department of applied arts to teach drawing and illustration.
He was honored with ‘Shawl of Kashmir’ by the President of India, awarded as ‘Asia’s who's who of men and women of achievement and distinction’, his paintings house at the Parliament of India and he designed the Banyan tree logo for VMC.
