Description

This Pattachitra painting from Orissa presents a captivating interpretation from the artist's 'Tree Series 151.' The tree, a profound and recurring motif in Indian iconography, often symbolises life, fertility, knowledge, and the interconnectedness of all existence. Here, the artist renders the subject with the characteristic bold outlines, vibrant hues, and intricate patterning typical of Pattachitra, inviting contemplation on nature's enduring power and beauty through a distinct, flattened perspective.

Created by Rabi Behera, a skilled artisan from Puri, this work exemplifies the meticulous craft of traditional Pattachitra. The medium is paata, a specially treated cloth canvas, painstakingly prepared by hand to create a smooth surface. On this, the artist applies natural pigments derived from minerals and plants, using fine brushes to achieve the detailed linework and rich, saturated colours that define this ancient narrative painting tradition.

This is a one-of-a-kind original painting, not a mass-produced print. Each stroke attests to the singular vision and hand of the artist. It ships accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its provenance, and includes free, insured delivery across India for your peace of mind.
