The cosmos

While Jivya Soma Mashe may have been the first man to take an interest in female art, his granddaughter Anita is reviving the tradition in her own style. She stands out among the third generation where most of the painters in the family are men. Her painting strokes are fine and playful, and her expression of artistry comes from a deep understanding and practice of Warlis rituals that remain the domain of married women.
