ANIMAL & LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS
By Tiger & Arcadia
Indian miniatures and artworks have enchanted historians and art lovers for centuries. They have become a source of inspiration to many renowned designers, artists and curators. These beautiful collection of small-scale, highly detailed paintings uses a unique painting technique which requires an amazing combination of aesthetic, skill, tradition and sheer dedication. Today the art of miniature painting is still alive with a combination of cultural articulation and a wealth of self-expression.
This beautiful piece has been created using only natural pigments made of minerals, ochres and vegetable dyes obtained from spices such as turmeric, barks and dried flower petals. The paint brushes used come in a variety of thicknesses, made from the soft ear hairs of bullocks, the fine neck hair of cashmere goats and from the exquisite hair of squirrels’ tails.
Each painting is painstakingly created using a magnifying glass. This is crucial to attain the required level of exquisite detail. Each painting is encased in traditional Italian craftmanship frames and French gold-leaf paper in the passe-partout have been well-crafted in with the utmost art museum quality.
