Comments:

India is a Country of one of the oldest civilizations. Modern India inherits rich art and culture from its mythological past. Traditionally art has been an integral part of the nation's heritage. Tribal art has its origin in the stone age and caveage paintings existing in several parts of country. Folk art draws inspiration from Indian mythology which is more than five thousand years old. Internationally renowned Indian artist Sandhya Arvind present her collection of the ethnic Indian tribal art of 'Warli' and folkart 'Madhubani'.Her art is a product of thirty years of experimentation, research and meticulous pursuit.
The artwork is oil on hardboard. It is ready to hang, framed in rustic cane or timber wood. Her distinguishing skill of relief effect that creates projection from surface, gives a sculpted texture to the colourful images. This feature amazingly enlivens the expressions.
A protective coating prevents weathering effect, fading of artwork. It resists moisture and gives long life.The silent popularity of Sandhya’s creations is demonstrated by their decorative presence in the corporate lobbies, homes of celebrities and industrialists. Internationally her art is adored in Europe, US, Australia , Japan , Singapore etc.
Her art is admired for both, its commercial as well as critical value and is prized possession for art collectors and investors.
