Warli is a popular art from a little village in Maharashtra with the same name. This is the most intriguing form of Indian art. My daughters call them the stick men.
Warli paintings are expressions of the daily lives of these tribes. The stories revolve around harvest season, weddings, celebrations, customs, other rituals, etc. Predominately white colour is used on a red earthen background. Just like this house below -
The simple monochromes compositions that mainly consist of geometrical designs, can still be so appealing. The simplest form of art – Warli.
This was painted in my foyer..
I picked up this CD rack from IKEA .. and revived it with a little dose of Warli ...
On the walls ...
a closer look.... 
I’m currently working on a lamp…. Or rather have been far too lazy to complete it… so post to follow!!!
