The Warli Tribe, who have lived in the remote areas of Western India for over 4,000 years, has an ancestral art culture similar to that of Aboriginal art. Their ritual paintings are created at times of marriage or harvest and convey a deep connection to nature, community, spirituality and reverence of the land.
Jivya Soma Mase was the first master painter to represent the Warli community internationally in Paris and Japan, aided by the Indian government. Today, his work is represented along with a number of other works that are now acclaimed worldwide.
