Tree of Life Pattachitra Painting on Tussar Silk

This exquisite Pattachitra painting features the universal motif of the Tree of Life. A potent symbol across cultures, it represents interconnectedness, growth, fertility, and the perpetual cycle of creation and regeneration. In an Indian context, it often evokes the sacred Kalpavriksha or other revered trees, embodying wishes and abundance. Here, the subject is rendered with the characteristic strong outlines and vibrant detailing of Pattachitra, its lush foliage and intricate branches beautifully expressed upon the rich texture of silk, conveying a profound sense of natural grace and spiritual grounding.

Artist Purna Chandra, from Bhubaneswar, presents a masterful interpretation of Pattachitra. While the tradition typically involves painting on a treated cloth surface, traditionally prepared with tamarind glue and chalk, this particular work is rendered with watercolor on the luxurious sheen of Tussar silk. Rooted in Odisha, particularly Puri and the artist village of Raghurajpur, Pattachitra is celebrated for its use of natural mineral and vegetable colours, precise brushwork, and strong outlines. Purna Chandra expertly applies these time-honored techniques, creating intricate detailing and the ornate visual language characteristic of the art form.
