SHIAVAX CHAVDA
ARTIST
1914 - 1990
“I would always like to remember him through his sketch books, and his gouache tempera technique (where you mix paint with egg yolk). His draughtsmanship was incomparable. but more than the artist perhaps it was shiavax the man who had my greatest admiration and respect.”
