Indian paintings















Duniya mein is tarah main...


Picture clicked by Joshua Weiner



























Duniya mein is tarah main, rihaayash-pazeer hoon,
Theraa ho jaise koi,  kisi ke makaan mein...........


दुनिया में इस तरह मैं , रिहायश -पज़ीर हूँ , 
ठहरा हो जैसे कोई , किसी के मकान में... 


अदम 






ye jo patthar hai






























Ye jo patthar hai , ye aadmi tha kabhi ,
isko kehte hain intzaar miyaan !


ये जो पत्थर है, ये आदमी था कभी , 
इसको कहते हैं , इंतज़ार मियाँ....

Aao Jaanch lete hain ....आओ जांच लेते हैं





Aao Jaanch lete hain
आओ जांच लेते हैं 

Dard ke Traazoo per
दर्द के तराज़ू पर 

Kis ka Gham kahan tak hai
किसका ग़म कहाँ तक है 

Shiddatein kahaan tak hain
शिद्दतें कहाँ तक हैं 

Kuch Aziz logon se pochna to parta hai
कुछ अज़ीज़ लोगों से पूछना तो पड़ता है 

Aajkal Mohabbat ki Qeematein kahaan tak hain
आजकल मोहब्बत की कीमत कहाँ तक हैं 

Ek sham aa jao, 
एक शाम आ जाओ 

Khul ke Haal-e-Dil keh lein
खुलके हाल-ए -दिल कह लें 

Kaun jaane saanson ki, 
कौन जाने साँसों की 

Mohalatein kahaan tak hain…!!
मोह्लातें कहाँ तक हैं ....!!

Incredible Warli Paintings


The Warli tribe comprise of of about 300,000 people and lives about 100 miles from Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra, India. They speak a language that has no written form, have their own traditions and religion. For thousands of years, women of the tribe rendered intricate paintings on the walls of their earthen homes during times of festivals and marriages as an invocation and blessing. Warli art is the traditional art form of the Warli Tribe located in Maharashtra, India. Their art gives form to tales that have been handed down through generations. The compositions all have a story to narrate about the culture and rich history of these very simple people.

Awesome paintings of Anand Mali























The awesome paintings of Anand Mali are known for their abstract landscapes and vibrant expression of nature's energy.

Anand Mali is a contemporary Indian artist from Maharashtra who works predominantly with acrylic on canvas. He has received numerous awards and has been featured in exhibitions across India and internationally.

Key Characteristics of Anand Mali's Paintings

Style: Abstract Expressionism & Dynamic Movement

Mali's work is rooted in abstract expressionism. He does not create exact replicas of what he sees; instead, his process is spontaneous and reactionary, focusing on conveying the emotional feeling and spirit of movement that he absorbs from his intimate observations of nature.

Subject Matter: Nature's Elements

His paintings are deeply inspired by the natural world, particularly its fluid and rhythmic elements:

  1. Water: Many of his series are dedicated to the energy and flow of water, with titles like "Songs of Water," "Sounds of Water," and "Flowing Harmony." These pieces capture the rhythm and life force of water without being a literal depiction.

  2. Nature & Landscape: Other prominent series, such as "Shades of Nature" and "Songs of Nature," translate the colors, light, and textures of real places—often in his home state of Maharashtra—into a rich, emotional abstraction.

Technique and Impact

  • Medium: He primarily uses acrylic paints, allowing him to create bold and vibrant shades with confident brushstrokes.

  • Emotional Connection: Mali states that his goal is to express the "inner soul" of the movement he observes. The resulting paintings are emotionally charged, offering the viewer a sense of vivacious feeling, optimistic thought, and energy.

  • Color Palette: While his work is abstract, his use of color is a strong feature, often employing bright, bold, and sometimes contrasting palettes to enhance the dynamic quality of the composition.
