Bhupen Khakhar studied accounting before moving to Baroda in 1962 to pursue a new career as a writer and artist. Khakhar, who was mostly self-taught, subsequently rose to prominence at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Baroda. Khakhar found it essential to paint something that pervades his own environment when he first began painting. He merges numerous traditions, both eastern and western, in his art with utmost naturalness, becoming the emblem of a new universe in the process. Khakhar constantly pushed the boundaries of the subject matter, frequently tackling contentious topics and using personal anecdotes. Khakhar was a key member in the Baroda School, painting bright narrative paintings that frequently integrate mystical aspects. In 2000, he received the Prince Claus Award from the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, in 1986, he won the Starr Foundation Fellowship from the Asian Council, and in 1984, the Indian Government's Padma Shri Award for Excellence was given to him.

Gulam Mohammed Sheikh has been a significant artist in Indian modern art since the early 1960s, as an internationally acclaimed writer, critic, and artist known for his sumptuous, deeply narrative paintings. He is a self-taught writer and practicing artist. Ravishankar Raval encouraged him to join the Faculty of Fine Art to pursue Painting. He studied painting under the tutelage of accomplished teachers like N.S. Bendre and K.G. Subramanyan. The atmosphere at the faculty and the teachers' assistance enabled him to develop his storytelling style in art, publish a number of works of poetry and prose, and establish himself as an artist in the eyes ofthe public. He draws influence from Persian, Mughal, and Pahari miniatures, as well as Bhakti and Sufi poetry and magical realism, when it comes to his own country's cultural traditions. His early work can be seen as being concerned with the subliminal reaches of human existence. He has been awarded with the Padma Shri in 1983, and Padmabhushan in 2014. The artist lives and works in Vadodara.

Farhad Hussain (b. 1975) Farhad Hussain’s paintings radiate confidence, marked by a striking interplay of vibrant colour. A graduate of Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan (2003), he later completed his postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Baroda in 2005. Rooted in the nuances of human relationships, his work explores their subtle complexities with a distinct blend of humour and irony. While his early works drew from everyday visual experiences, they already hinted at the layered narratives that define his practice today. His compositions centre on the human figure, where each character contributes to an interconnected, unfolding narrative.
