Warli Art
Warli is the tribal community who has it's own beliefs, life, customs and rituals. The warlis speak an unwritten language composed of Gujrati, Sanskrit, and Marathi words. The word "Warli" comes from the word "Warla", which means a piece of land based in the north of Mumbai, India.Warlis use very basic geometrical shapes such as squares, triangles and circles.
Warlis make paintings on walls on specific occasions such as harvests and weddings. Warli paintings are done with white colour made of rice paste, water and gum. Warlis draw paintings with the help of bamboo stick, which is chewed at the bottom to use it as a paintbrush.
Warli paintings include human figures, animals, trees and scenes: dancing, farming, fishing, hunting, celebrating festivals.
Warlis strongly believe in the concept of "Nature as Mother". They believe that Mother Nature is the central to all their customs and traditions.
