Vijit Veer Hooda

One full of love and tragedy, Veer Hooda learned about life’s beauty and brutal abstraction at an early age.

Born into a loving, large, affluent family in India in 1985 to an artist mother and a respected businessman, Veer Hooda grew up seeing connection and community. Spending entire summers in the deep Himalayas, exploring the mountains as a child, filled the artist with a deep sense of nature and the context in which we fit into that scene as humans.

Veer Hooda used his mother’s talent and influence to take a deep interest in the arts early in his life. His creativity took another turn after joining music school and eventually a band, pursuing his creative output through music and playing the drums. His first vocation, as a 15-year-old, was to be a music teacher.

The early and sudden loss of his father, a central figure in his life and community, affected the artist in a profound way. The abstract way in which life works became apparent, and the appreciation of the fragility of life became a central principle of his life.

Veer Hooda pursued a degree in Business and Mathematics, going on to work with some of the best firms in the industry. After two decades of working in business, entrepreneurship and diplomacy, a few months before his own daughter was born, Veer Hooda decided to become an artist.
