Artist
Shraddha Mishra
I am passionate about working on various forms of Divine Art. I have a strong drive to revive traditional folk art of India.
With an aim to reach out to people at every corner of the world and spread the beauty of Indian folk art, I work with all my faith, respect and commitment towards my initiative.
Although there are various forms of folk art representing the identity of every Indian state. Kerala Mural Art, is the art form that dates back to 8th century AD. The Kerala mural paintings are a form of temple art that have been practiced in Kerala for over 2000 years and have been preserved through generations by local artists. Although they have been influenced by western techniques, they have retained their Indian roots.
Technique Used:
Traditional Kerala mural art involves usage of natural colors.
Four basic colors are used for acrylic and oil based mural paintings – Sap Green, Yellow Ocher, Prussian Blue and Burnt sienna. Modern Kerala Mural artist have reached beyond the boundaries of displaying their work in various color combination, keeping the identity of the art very close to its early tradition and style. The style basically used is Fresco Style – where application of colors usually involves wet surface, when designed on wall, clay, fabric, canvas or stretched canvas.
