Extinction

Biography:

Chirag Thumbar is a Signature Member of Society of Animal Artists, and an artist dedicated and committed to reach beyond the realistic rendering of wildlife and the natural world. He was born in 1979, in Gujarat, India. Painting has been his passion and he has also academically pursued the same. He graduated as an commercial artist from Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, Gujarat.

​

Chirag has inherited the interest in painting from his father, who hailed from a small village on the periphery of the Gir National Park, the only abode of Asiatic Lions. In some sense, both painting and interest in wildlife come naturally. Since his first visit to Gir National Park when he was only ten, he has only intended to paint nature and wildlife. His fascination for the big cat ‘the Asiatic Lion’ has now extended to big game animals of India. His best work is inspired from field studies in Gir National Park, Pench Tiger Reserve, and Kanha Tiger Reserve the inspirational setting for Kipling's Jungle book.
