ABOUT MADHUBANI PAINTING

Madhubani painting or Mithila painting is a style of Indian painting. Painting is done with fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks, using natural dyes and pigments, and is characterized by eye-catching geometrical patterns. There are paintings for each occasion and festival such as birth, marriage, festivals etc.

Madhubani, which by one account means Forest of Honey, (‘Madhu’-honey, ‘Ban’-forest or woods) is a region in the northern part of Bihar. A region that has a distinct regional identity and language that reportedly spans 2500 years.

The exact time when Mithila art originated is not known. According to local mythology, the origin can be traced to the time of the Ramayana, when King Janaka ordered his kingdom to decorate the town for the wedding of his daughter, Sita, to Lord Rama. The ancient tradition of elaborate wall paintings or Bhitti-Chitra in Bihar played a major role in the emergence of this new art form. The original inspiration for Madhubani art emerged from women’s craving for religiousness and an intense desire to be one with God. With the belief that painting something divine would achieve that desire, women began to paint pictures of gods and goddesses with an interpretation so divine that captured the hearts of many.

Artist Bio

Shilpa Sodal is a passionate, self-motivated, and self-taught artist whose creative journey is as vibrant and diverse as the colours on her palette. Born in India and now calling Australia home, Shilpa draws deep inspiration from her rich Indian cultural heritage while embracing a global artistic spirit.

From a young age, Shilpa was captivated by the beauty and intricacy of traditional Indian art forms. Her early exposure to a variety of styles and techniques laid the foundation for her intuitive and boundaryless approach to creativity. She has always believed that art, like life, should be free-flowing and evolving — and this philosophy is reflected in every piece she creates.

Shilpa’s work is an emotional expression, guided purely by instinct, heart, and soul. Every brushstroke is a meditative experience that brings her immense inner peace and satisfaction. Her art does not conform to a single style or school — instead, it’s a vibrant blend of influences, from the elegance of traditional Indian motifs to delicate precision of Chinese brush painting, which she has passionately explored in recent years.

Nature, cultural symbolism, and a love for rich, bold colours are recurring themes in Shilpa’s artwork. Her pieces often carry an energy that feels both timeless and deeply personal, inviting the viewer to pause, reflect, and connect.

A fearless explorer of mediums, Shilpa believes that each artwork is a chapter in a much larger story — a continuous journey of colour, emotion, and discovery. Through her art, she shares her world without boundaries, celebrating life in its most honest, colourful form.

Hope you will enjoy her artwork as much as she enjoyed painting them.

Regards
Shilpa
