Kurzbeschreibung:
Art represents an artists a relationship with life and everything that is part of it religion, rituals , livelihood, family, relationships, death.. it is in this context alone that the true essence of Warli paintings can be appreciated.
The paintings are executed inside the hut. Walls are first smeared with cowbung. Red mud is then applied to provide the vase texture. Pointed Bamboo twigs and thin rice paste are used to draw patterns.
The theme and content of the drawings varies with the occasion and the deity being worshipped. The designs are intricate, decorative patterns depicting rituals, folk tales, traditions, and the main preoccupations of the people: hunting, sowing and harvesting, birth, marriage and death
