We are what we are surrounded by, be it thoughts revolving in our heads, people in our lives, or things that are present in the space that we inhabit. Whoever said, “Art makes a home more human,” was right on point. With works of art, you can feel at ease. They elevate our senses and exude positivity.

Photography has drastically changed the lives of human beings today. Not a day passes, for most of us, without a photograph. There seems to be no need for any special occasion to take a photo. A good hair day needs a photo! Your cute little pet’s homecoming anniversary needs a photo for sure! “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” says American photographer Aaron Siskind. Photography has the real magic to capture the world’s beauty. Photos can speak instantly to the world, and our reminiscence happens in real-time. Every photograph has a story to tell. The photography era has enhanced our need to create, record, and remember. Cameras have become an indispensable part of our lives. It is curating our lives for recording and curating our lives. Precious moments were made into keepsakes, while moments we no longer wished to remember were discarded.
Warli art, born in the 10th century, was practiced by the warli tribes of Maharashtra. India is a vibrant society where colour, noise, dance, and patterns are primary. Decorating homes is not the latest process of the Homo Sapiens, but also our long-forgotten sibling species, homo neanderthals. Drawings and paintings have been imbued with the culture right from the times of neanderthals. Early, humans used drawings to record history and decorate homes. Their penchant for expressing art later developed into different folk art forms with time and refinement.
THERE IS NO OTHER INDIAN ARTIST whose work has branched out in so many different directions as has M.F Husain’s. If artists were trees, Husain would be the Banyan that grows and grows till it becomes its own forest, its own eco-system with roots and trunks indistinguishable from each other.
