Mithila Painting — a living art tradition from Nepal
A cultural art of the Mithila region
Mithila painting is a traditional folk-art form associated with the Mithila cultural region of Nepal and India. In Nepal, Janakpur is an important centre of Mithila culture and artistic expression. The art is recognised for its expressive figures, strong outlines, decorative borders, repeating patterns and richly filled compositions.
Stories, symbols and everyday life
Mithila artists use painting to tell stories and preserve cultural ideas. Common subjects include nature, birds, fish, peacocks, animals, flowers, village scenes, relationships, festivals and spiritual or mythological themes. Each composition can combine symbolism with the artist's own creativity and personal style.
Traditional roots, contemporary possibilities
Traditionally associated with hand-painted surfaces and natural colours, Mithila art continues to evolve. Contemporary artists work on paper, cloth, canvas, walls and decorative objects, allowing the visual language of Mithila to connect with homes, galleries, exhibitions and collectors around the world.
