COLLECTION STORY:
Dewdrops glistening in the mellow yellow of the sunlight, morning fall over one of the most exotic forests of the Indian subcontinent. Suddenly the quiet of the night comes to life with a million shades of green complemented by birds, animals and fishes of all sizes, shapes and colours waking up to a new dawn. Nature at it’s peak, it rings a bell with a string that we have attached to the raw beauty of rain forests and auspicious unadulterated earthy goodness.
Soil celebrated for it’s fertility, forests celebrated for their density and wildlife celebrated for it’s colour and diversity, the plains of Bihar have been home to art inspirations for thousands of years. One such beautiful art form is that of ‘Mithila Paintings’ that originated in the Maithili district of Bihar; originally created by womenfolk on mud walls and floors of huts for auspicious occasions like festivals, temple ceremonies, marriages among others. Hand painted excerpts from ancient Indian religious texts are painted with an emphasis on flora and fauna in vibrant bright colours. Home to one of the most ancient cultures of the country, Mithila paintings today are celebrated all over the world and hold the prestigious Geographical Indication mark that authenticates the art form’s originality only to Maithili.
The ‘Forests Of Art Collection’ is inspired from the dense forest cover and unending natural beauty of plant and wildlife of the region. Artisans from Bihar have skilfully hand-painted auspicious motifs into small frames of a beautiful Indian colour-palette. These premium quality teak-wood frames have been converted into a wide range of home-products with simple utility features that make them art pieces to rave up your favourite spaces. This collection of ancient-art decor products is a cultural tale, hand-painted and handcrafted with love, that brings tradition and heritage of Indian roots in stunning motifs and colours of celebration, happiness and warmth to brighten spaces of all styles.
