A Canvas for Your Art

There is no such thing more fulfilling as creating your own unique piece of art, whether its your

rendition of a classical note, your own version of a dance step or your perception of how you see the

world with the help of paints and colours. To be able to create something that is entirely based on

your imagination, emotion, mood or just inspired by an original work, is creativity par excellence.

And one should always continually work towards finding ways to get inspired and get acknowledged

for the same.

An artist creates art from a fragment of their imagination or taking root from an emotion. That piece

of art has a purpose which is, to tell a story. That artwork is meant to express itself and spread an

idea. And the feeling of contentment comes when the creator can see their art getting

acknowledged, getting consumed and getting understood.

Quite recently we collaborated with an gond painting artist around the Earth Day campaign #livegently, where the artist came up with a beautiful artwork of her own that Vajor decided to convert into a wall art.

Subsequently donating a portion of the sales from the artwork to ‘growtrees.com’, who planted

trees on behalf of Vajor for a better, healthier, greener planet.

Vajor is now offering this contentment as an opportunity to all such artists out there. We are calling all artists to share their art with us and in turn, we would share it with the world. All you need to do is start registering from 1st July, 2018 onwards and submit up to 5 of your artworks. You could be an accomplished artist, developing your skills at the minute, keeping a secret sketchbook under your pillow. Or, you could be a photographer, graphic designer, traveler, etc. Honestly, all you need to be is full of ideas and innovation to participate.

And few lucky ones get their artworks converted into beautiful Wall Arts that will be sold under

Holi Of Colors – Great excitement can be seen in people on the next day when it is actually the time for the play of colors. People get all the time to get crazy and wacky. Bright colors of gulal and abeer fill the air and people take turns in pouring color water over each other. Children take special delight in spraying colors on one another with their Pichkaris (Water Guns) and throwing water balloons Tribal Art at passers by. Women and senior citizens form groups called tolis and move in colonies – applying colors and exchanging greetings, Songs, dance on the rhythm of dholak and mouthwatering Holi delicacies such as Gujhiya & Jalebi, Fafda & Gathiya are the other highlights of the day. Thandai & Ecstasy of Bhang is also associated with Holi. There is also a very popular tradition of consuming Thandai & intoxicating bhang on this day.

During the early days, the “gulal” colors of Holi were made at home using flowers of the “Tesu tree”, otherwise called the “Flame of the Forest”. The flowers which blooms in the season, are dried in the sun and then ground to fine dust. The powdered dust once mixed in water gave way to the most brilliant hue of saffron-red. The saffron-red pigment and colored powdered talc called “abeer” were the mainstays at Holi festival celebrations, long before the manufactured colors of today. With changing times artificial colors have made their way deep down in this festival. But the spirit of the festival remains the same.

With our friend Santosh Kumar Dwivedi, who introduced me to Patangarh and its artists last year, we returned to the village. We were gond painting welcomed there by all, like long-time friends, or even members of the family… I thus learned that I was considered as the grandmother of little Sumarthya, because I had stayed there. last year in the family of Deepika, her mother, then 8 months pregnant!….

We spent precious and unforgettable moments with the families, learning here and there the words of their language, the tricks of their cooking, the steps of their dances, in the soft and intimate light of the candles… We shared their meals, sat on the floor, surrounded by good-natured smiles and laughter at the differences between our respective cultures. The simple joy of sharing…

Very quickly, the local inhabitants got wind of our presence and our passion for tribal art… And one afternoon, several dozen artists arrived, their paintings under their arms, in the hope of selling some. a few… The village, very isolated geographically, is facing serious economic problems, and the tribal life of the Gond community is seriously threatened.

With the Covid I fear that this situation may be all the more dramatic…
