Uttam Kumar is a Gold Medalist professional foot artist from Jammu and Kashmir, India, with nearly thirty-nine years of experience in oil painting. Due to his physical disability, both hands and his right leg are non-functional, and he creates original oil-on-canvas paintings using his left foot. His practice spans contemporary, abstract, figurative, landscape, wildlife, heritage and commissioned works, including large-format paintings. His artworks have reached private collectors in more than fifteen countries. Alongside his professional art practice, he supports and encourages children with disabilities through the JD Foot and Mouth Foundation, promoting greater self-reliance through art.
