Laxpal Singh Rathore graduated in Fine Arts in Lucknow.
Although realistic, his paintings illustrate people from Rajasthan with abnormal long neck. Life in a desert area like Rajasthan is very difficult. Camels need their long neck to reach the leaves of the trees and therefore to survive. Thus, the neck symbolises the struggles in life and survival efforts of Rajasthani people.
Rathore’s paintings have brought him the prestige of many awards including the State Award Rajasthan Kala Academy.
