Shailesh Mohan Ojha (b. 1986, Auriya) is a visual artist and sculptor based in Delhi NCR. His practice explores the intersections of human memory, environmental transformation, and social unease through material experimentation—working primarily in stone, metal, resin, and mixed media. He holds a BFA from the College of Arts & Crafts, Lucknow (2008) and an MFA from Delhi University’s College of Art, New Delhi (2010). Ojha was awarded the Krishnakriti Foundation Scholarship (2008–2010) and received First Prize (Certificate of Merit) at the College of Art’s annual exhibition (2010). His solo exhibition The Beginning of Love was presented at Triveni Art Gallery in 2011, followed by participation in several notable group exhibitions across India between 2012 and 2016. In 2020, he was awarded the Junior Fellowship by India’s Ministry of Culture, a two-year national grant supporting research-based creative practice. A committed educator, Ojha has taught sculpture for over a decade at institutions including Pearl Academy, Delhi University, Noida International University, Sushant University, and IMS DIA. His work continues to feature in residencies, national art camps, and exhibitions both in India and abroad.
