BHARTI DAYAL – PROFILE
Mithila Painting, a unique artistic tradition from the ancient kingdom of Mithila ,has a history steeped in the civilization of India . The paintings are simplistic manifestation of the philosophical heights achieved by our nation in yesteryears.
Bharti Dayal , a child from the heartland of Mithila , belongs to the School of Madhubani. An artist with a heart molded in the original tradition of Mithila Paintings, from a very young age, Smt Dayal has invested her abundant energies to the cause of bringing back the past glory of this brilliant form of human expression .It is her ardent desire to reach this school of work across the frontiers of India. Smt Dayal’s quest is two fold:
- to assimilate the changing cultural, needs and tastes into the very essence of Madhubani Paintings and
- to popularize this folk form and aid the economic development of the folk artisans to keep alive the rich cultural heritage of India.
|
Bharti Dayal’s Works are essentially an amalgamation of the ancient Madhubani Art Form and Modern Times, without deviating from the core features of the Mithila tradition. To share her ideas with the cognoscenti and after much persuasion from colleagues from this School of Art, Smt Dayal is assembling a body of her contemporary creations over the past decade.
