Tree Series 224 Pattachitra Painting on Cloth

The "Tree Series 224" presents a vibrant celebration of nature, a subject deeply embedded in Indian artistic traditions. In this exquisite Paata painting, the tree stands as a powerful symbol of life, growth, and the interconnectedness of existence. Rendered with characteristic precision, the forms are defined by bold outlines and filled with a rich palette of colours, bringing the intricate details of leaves and branches to life in a flattened yet dynamic perspective typical of traditional Odishan art.

This traditional Indian painting is the skilled handiwork of Rabi Behera, an artist from Puri, a renowned center for this distinct art form known as Pattachitra. The medium is Paata, a specially prepared cloth canvas, traditionally primed with a mixture of chalk and tamarind gum to create a smooth, durable surface. Behera employs fine brushwork to achieve the elaborate patterns and crisp lines, using natural or artist colours that lend a luminous quality to the composition, a testament to generations of refined technique.

As a one of a kind original, this handmade painting offers a unique piece of India's living artistic heritage. It is not a print or reproduction, but an authentic creation directly from the artist's hand. Each acquisition ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its provenance and originality, and includes free insured delivery across India for your peace of mind.
