In 1952 he got a scholarship to study at PALACIO NATIONAL DE BELLES ARTES, MEXICO.

5. Transformation in medium The social content dominated his paintings and graphics, and the anguish of the nations who lost their homes and families during the partition of the country came out in anger, sweeping gestural brushwork in his paintings. His search was on for what was living and life-giving in the traditional arts and crafts of India, and he diversified his sculpture materials with machined industrial objects in steel, copper, glass, often painted in strong enamel colors. Later he tried out the junk sculptures, introducing light and sound in them.

6. Since the late ‘80s up to the recent years, Satish Gujral’s paintings and sculptures further diversified both in terms of material and content. Satish Gujral’s sculptures in burnt wood have came with a kind of visceral exposure of forms, human and otherwise. He executed commissions to make large murals, mostly in mosaic and ceramic tiles and later in machined steel elements, simulated his interest in their immediate architectural context.
