The Painting

This Lepai artwork features concentric circular forms in warm earthy tones, creating a composition that evokes balance, continuity, and harmony. Inspired by the textured wall art traditions of Chhattisgarh, the layered patterns celebrate the beauty of handcrafted surfaces and indigenous artistic expression.

The Artform

Lepai Art is a traditional mural art form practiced by the tribal communities of Chhattisgarh, where walls are decorated using natural clay, cow dung, and earth-based pigments. Known for its raised textures, simple geometric patterns, and nature-inspired motifs, the art is created during festivals, harvests, and auspicious occasions. Originally used to adorn homes, Lepai Art continues to preserve the region's rich cultural heritage through its handcrafted beauty and timeless traditions.

The Artist

Shakuntla is a traditional Lepai artist whose practice is rooted in the indigenous mural traditions of central India. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes, rituals, and everyday life of her community, she preserves the centuries-old craft of decorating walls with textured relief patterns and earth-based motifs. While traditionally created using clay, cow dung, and natural pigments on village homes, her work thoughtfully adapts these distinctive techniques to canvas, allowing the tactile beauty of Lepai art to reach contemporary audiences. Through her practice, Shakuntla contributes to preserving a lesser-known yet culturally significant artistic tradition, celebrating the simplicity, craftsmanship, and deep connection to nature that define Lepai art.
