What I love about Chandua is how graphic and bold it is. There is a clean rhythm to the shapes that just clicks with me. It’s fun knowing these pieces were made with simple tools and serious skill, right in people’s homes.
Talapatra Chitra Palm Leaf Art
I really admire the precision in palm leaf etching. It is such a small surface, but the level of detail is incredible. It’s the kind of craft that makes you slow down and appreciate how steady and skilled the artist’s hand has to be.
Pattachitra Paintings
I’m drawn to Pattachitra because of how detailed and consistent the style is. You can spot it instantly. There’s a kind of quiet confidence in the way these scrolls are painted, with no do-overs, just experience and steady hands.
Sabai Grass Crafts
Sabai grass items are beautiful in their simplicity. They remind me that useful things can also be made with care and artistry. I’m always amazed at how something from the forest floor can become something so refined.
