Amitesh Verma studied from the College of Art , New Delhi and held his first solo show in 2002 at Visual art gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. In this short span of time, Amitesh Verma has made a niche for himself through the intricate and detailed portrayal of animal and human anatomy. Known among many for his portrayal of horses, Amitesh Verma, inspired by the divinity in earthly and astral forms. He adds whiff of freshness by including intricate drawings that go beyond the mere anatomy to invoke emotions like compassion, love and motherhood.

He has studied horses at Delhi racecourse, horse clubs and so on. Hence, some horses seem pensive, some have heads turned towards heaven and some seem to be enjoying the company of their family, some vaguely fade into a cloud of colours, some wait for that spiritual force to come and enlighten them.

Apart from series on horses, Verma also includes drawings and charcoals on paper done during his visit to Turkey, Singapore & Thailand . He has used motifs from European culture showcasing human forms, churches, and of course, animal figures.
