Creativity has no boundaries










Warli

Warli is the form of rudimentary wall paintings which uses a very basic graphic vocabulary: a circle, a triangle and a square. 

The circle and triangle come from their observation of nature, the circle representing the sun and the moon,the triangle derived from mountains and pointed trees. 

The central motif in these ritual paintings is surrounded by scenes portraying hunting, fishing and farming, festivals and dances, trees and animals. 

Human and animal bodies are represented by two triangles joined at the tip; the upper triangle depicts the trunk and the lower triangle the pelvis. Their precarious equilibrium symbolizes the balance of the universe, and of the couple, and has the practical and amusing advantage of animating the bodies.
