Story Behind the Art:

Bharti Dayal comes from northern Bihar, in Mithila. This region of India preserves the rich heritage of folk paintings known as Mithila or Madhubani paintings. 'I learned this art form from the elders in my family. I would watch my mother and grandmother make alpana paintings on the floor of the house and sketch epic scenes on the walls. Madhubani paintings are a manifestation of the philosophical underpinnings of Indian folk traditions. Today, Madhubani paintings are done with natural dyes on handmade paper. While remaining true to tradition, I seek to insert an intellectual edge into my paintings, lending them a more contemporary look. Today I have several associate Madhubani artists in Bihar with whom I work. No time frame can be given for the completion of a painting. It can either be a whole day under the effect of inspiration, while others can linger on for months.'
