Hazy
Acrylic and fabic pen on canvas,15.7" * 15.7"

Warli Dance
Acrylic on canvas,15.7" * 15.7"
This is a type of tribal art from India.
Warli Paintings are the ancient Indian folk
 art  tradition of Warli Tribe in Indian state
of  Maharashtra.These paintings depict the normal,
day to day and social life of common people.
 Mainly created on mud walls of tribal houses by
women of the houses.They use geometric shapes 
 such as triangles, circles, squares, dots and
 crooked lines. These shapes are used to depict
 human figures, animal figures, houses, crops etc.
The themes are often repetitive and symbolic in nature.
Hope you all enjoy these pieces.
