Amjum Rizve is a contemporary artist from Kerala whose work is a rich tapestry of history, mythology, and personal experience. Born in 1991, his formal training at fine arts colleges in Trivandrum and Mysore laid the groundwork for a style that is both decorative and deeply intellectual. He is particularly celebrated for how he fuses the intricate aesthetics of Mughal and Persian miniatures with a modern, narrative approach to storytelling.

His canvases are often described as fantastical worlds, where every inch is filled with intensive drawings and vibrant colors. Rizve draws inspiration from a vast array of sources, including poetry, religious imagery, and even textile design from both Eastern and Western traditions. However, these elements are not just decorative; they serve as a medium for his socio-political arguments. By recreating the external world within his own "personal space of imagination," he invites viewers to look closer at the complexities of the society we live in.
