A student of 5th standard at Scottish High International School Radhey Patel awarded a distinguished Art scholarship at three of the best independent schools in United Kingdom, for his tremendous effort, dedication and preparation he has exhibited in his art and academic studies.

All set to display his work at the renowned NIFA’s Annual Art Exhibition slated for May 2014, child prodigy Radhey Patel rose to fame a few years ago when, the National Institute of Fine Arts labeled him child genius, praising the child for his tendency to create arts that, well, looked like the work of established artists.

In one of his paintings Junior Picasso Radhey dedicated to Nation’s father Mahatma Gandhi titled Transform: Making of a Mahatma attempts to show case how Gandhi, an attorney in South Africa transformed into a Mahatma during the fight for independence. Picasso and Van Gogh are his all time favorites. And he extensively believes in the theory of Picasso which says that every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up.

Radhey’s next challenge is to host an online exhibition of all his work in support of BBC Children in Need and contribute to the wellbeing of other children and help make a difference.
