Description

This captivating artwork, 'Tree Series 199,' emerges from the rich tradition of Pattachitra painting from Odisha. In this exquisite rendering, artist Rabi Behera explores the profound symbolism of the tree, a universal motif representing life, growth, fertility, and the interconnectedness of all existence within Indian philosophy. The composition beautifully captures the intricate forms and vibrant spirit of nature, rendered with the distinctive crisp lines and decorative precision characteristic of this ancient art form.

Created by Rabi Behera, a master artist from the historic city of Puri, this painting is executed on paata, a specially prepared cloth canvas. The traditional Pattachitra technique involves coating the fabric with a gesso of chalk and tamarind gum, then polishing it to a smooth, receptive surface. Natural pigments derived from minerals, earth, and plants are then meticulously applied with fine brushes, showcasing the artist's masterful hand and deep understanding of his ancestral craft.

As a one-of-a-kind original, this painting is a unique collectible, not a print or reproduction. It will ship with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and originality. We are pleased to offer complimentary insured delivery across India, ensuring this exquisite piece arrives safely to its new home.
