“Could it be that human beings—whether Indian or Japanese—are like fishermen who cast their nets to fish but can only reach relatively shallow waters? We know a lot of things and are constantly learning more, but maybe what we have most in common with each other is what is unknown to us. The depths of the ocean, and our relationship to that world, still remain hidden and mysterious.” - Mayur and Tushar Vayeda

Brothers Mayur and Tushar Vayeda made this artists’ book.  They are from the indigenous Warli community in Maharashtra, western India and grew up in the village of Ganjad. After studying animation and business management in Mumbai, the brothers taught themselves the traditional art of Warli painting.

Warli art is traditionally created by the women in the community, who decorate the walls and floors of their homes, as well as community spaces and for festivals. As such, Warli paintings were temporary, constantly renewed and recreated.

Today, both women and men make Warli painting, and they are also made more permanent on paper or canvas. The Vayeda brothers incorporate traditional Warli painting style but create a new vision.

In this book, the Vayeda brothers tell their journey from Ganjad to a small Japanese island called Awashima, connecting the village stream they knew from their childhood to the deep oceans they encountered in Awashima.

A Picture is a ballad without words. The Warli Art shape is the pictorial dialect used to speak to the tribal people craft of the early tribes of Thane area, Maharashtra.

It portrays the dancing, chasing and development of land with the tribal hovels made in a dark, mustard yellow or the white foundation. Keeping in mind the end goal to educate these structures to the understudies, we embrace a particular showing strategy, so that even non-craftsmen can paint the lovely warli. All these and more can be investigated about the antiquated India.

The word "Warli" originates from "warla" which implies a real estate parcel or a field despite being in such closeness of the biggest city in India, Warli tribesmen are as yet not urban. Warli Art was first found in the mid-seventies. While there are no records of the correct beginnings of this workmanship, its underlying foundations might be followed to as right on time as the tenth century AD. Warli is the distinctive articulation of day by day and get-togethers of the Warli tribe of Maharashtra, utilized by them to enhance the dividers of town houses. This was the main methods for transmitting fables to other people who are not familiar with the composed word.

These works of art don't portray fanciful characters or pictures of divinities, however delineate social life. Pictures of individuals and creatures, alongside scenes from everyday life are made in a free cadenced example. Painted white on mud dividers, they are entirely near pre-notable buckle artistic creations in execution and as a rule delineate scenes of human figures occupied with exercises like chasing, dancing, sowing ,collecting, going out, drawing water from well, drying clothes.

It fundamentally comprises of geometrical examples

·         Circle: speaking to the sun and the moon

·         Triangle: triangle got from mountains and pointed trees

·         Square: showing a consecrated walled in area or a land parcel. So the focal rationale in every custom painting is the square

These geometric figures are consolidated to shape lovely examples .Like two summit of triangles are combined to frame a human figure.

Warli canvases on paper have turned out to be exceptionally prevalent and are presently sold all finished India. Today, little compositions are done on fabric and paper however they look best on the walls or as colossal wall paintings that draw out the tremendous and otherworldly universe of the Warlis. For the Warlis, convention is still clung to however in the meantime new thoughts have been permitted to leak in which encourages them confront new difficulties from the market.

"Warli Vessel #3" is very important to me.

The ceramics professor at my uni threw this pot on the wheel as a demo for his class, and then proceeded to give it to me to do whatever I wanted with it cause he wasn't going to use it for anything.
