This is my first Warli artwork. The wooden frame with a glass in the centre is from IKEA and white acrylic color is used to do the painting.

My first hand with Warli Painting

Warli art is an ancient Indian folk art tradition of painting of a Maharashtrian tribe called Warli.. Historians believe that the Warli tradition can be traced back to as far as the Neolithic period between 2,500 BC and 3,000 BC. The Warli paintings essentially depict the basic principals of life which are main theme or basis of any tribe. Their major designs include the harvest season,celebration, wedding, rituals and births.
The trademark of Warli paintings is the use of geometric designs such as triangles, circles, squares, dots and crooked lines are used to depict human figures, animal figures, houses, crops etc. Warli art is known for its monochromatic depictions that express the folk life of socio-religious customs, imaginations and beliefs. Predominately white color is used on a red earthen background.

Exploring myself!!

I always wanted to do some art work but had no inspiration or push to do so...thought I will do someday, I guess the day has arrived.
In fact Bharath has inspired me here - the time spent in his toilet has somewhat altered my life. This may sound strange but this quote which is written on his bathroom door haunted me till date 'EVERY MOMENT IS THE VERY LAST ONE'. I realised just in time that time is running faster than Michael Johnson and I may never be able to catch up if I don't stop here and divert.

Anyway, I started with Warli painting.
