He was an architect, painter, muralist, sculptor and graphic artist. His artworks were majorly inspired by the turbulence of his early years including the illness that impaired his hearing as a child and the partition of the subcontinent. His familiar works include the alphabet mural on the outside wall of the Delhi High Court and the outer designs on the Belgian embassy in Delhi. While many of Gujral’s contemporary artists like S.H. Raza, F.N. Souza, M.F. Hussain, Ram Kumar and others went to Paris or London in the early 1950s to study and practice art, Satish Gujral went to Mexico city to study with Diego Rivera and Siqueiros. Gujral’s oeuvre is a versatile practice spanning painting, sculpture and architecture.
