Warli art is a traditional form of tribal art that originates from the Warli people, who are an indigenous tribal community living in the western Indian state of Maharashtra and the bordering areas of Gujarat. This art form is believed to date back to more than 2,000 years and is characterized by its simplicity, use of basic geometric shapes, and a distinctive style that primarily consists of white patterns on a brown or red ochre background.
Warli art has gained recognition not only in India but also internationally for its cultural significance and aesthetic appeal. It has been adapted into various forms, including canvas paintings, paper art, and textiles, and is often used to depict themes related to rural life, tribal culture, and spirituality. This art form has helped preserve the cultural heritage of the Warli tribe and continues to be a source of income for many Warli artists today.
