Biography
"I was born in Ballia district, in a predominantly rural province of Uttar Pradesh, India. I come from a family of coal miners. My father was working as a blacksmith at the coal mines of our province. I was the first to step out from my family and pursue formal higher education. I first did my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, graduating in 2013. After this I qualified for a Master in Fine Arts (specialisation: Painting) from the College of Arts, New Delhi in 2015." Birender Yadav
