Welcome to Bansi Parimu's World
Preserving the Legacy of a Visionary Artist
Bansi Parimu was a self-taught artist whose distinctive style of abstract landscapes earned him a revered place in contemporary Indian art. Born in Srinagar, his work was deeply influenced by the valley’s natural beauty and cultural richness. Despite the turmoil that forced him to leave his homeland, Parimu’s art continued to reflect his profound connection to Kashmir. His innovative use of gauze overlays and calligraphic elements captured the changing light of the Himalayan pastures, making his work both unique and evocative. Beyond painting, Parimu was also a sculptor, writer, and environmentalist, contributing significantly to each field. His legacy lives on through his art, which continues to inspire and move audiences worldwide.

Dear Parimu Family,
Thank you for sharing the beautiful works of art done by Mr Parimu. It was such a pleasure going though them.

God bless.

We gave several performances, and at one of the performances at Hotel Nedous, Daddy (or D.P. Dhar, as we called him) spotted me and gave me special appreciation. We even went to Jammu for a performance. Bansi Sir invited me to participate in the Republic Day tableau, and that’s when we took the unique picture with Nehruji. At the same venue, there’s also a picture with Indira Gandhi, which is a prized possession of my mother. I will always remember him very fondly. God bless.
