Context: Artists are using the traditional Warli art form to not just beautify Hyderabad, but also to create awareness on important issues
Simplicity is the key in Warli.
Warli painting is a style of tribal art mostly created by the tribal people from the North Sahyadri Range in Maharashtra, India.
Figures are created out of geometrical shapes — two triangles, stick-like hands and legs, a circle (representing face), a smaller circle (only for female form to indicate a hair bun) and square.
Warli is about day-to-day life and the human connection. A vital part of it is what one does on a regular day — agriculture, weddings, anything a common man will do.
There are no deities involved and there is no striking colour palette either.
The Warli culture is centered on the concept of Mother Nature and elements of nature are often focal points depicted in Warli painting.
Warli painting is registered with a geographical indication under the intellectual property rights act.
