Geet's home décor series - hand painted and unique - bring home the love..

In the language Hindi, Geet means a song.

Geet also happened to be a 21 year old boy raring to get a go at life. To his friends and family, Geet was a ray of warm sunshine and cool moon beam. His was a rather ordinary life, nothing out of the way happened - until just like that, one fine day shortly after his 21st birthday, he left us. Way too early. So many dreams, so many plans, all gone. The world he inhabited came to a standstill, was blinded by grief. He left behind a trail of friends, cousins, sisters, parents, grandparents. Everybody grappling with grief in their own way.

One person in that world, however, picked up the brushes one day. And started pouring her love through colors. She did not know she had it inside her but once she picked up the brushes, there was no looking back. Thus was born Geet’s Store - the custom hand painted Home Décor series..

Design and Style Inspiration

India is known for its rich and vibrant art scene and world class artists. Self expression through art takes a new meaning here. Geet’s Home Décor Series is inspired by various Indian traditional art forms. Whereas in the original form, the surfaces vary from textiles to walls to pottery etc, the artist here has tastefully combined the traditional style with the essence of the modern home by using mostly wooden surface to create vibrant and joyous art pieces in the form of magnets, coasters, wall plates, mirrors, name plates etc. Each piece is unique and is hand painted with love and care giving extra attention to quality. Read on to know more about some of the art styles that influenced the artist’s creativity and imagination.

Pattachitra

Pattachitra is a traditional folk painting from the Indian state of Odisha originating from a small village near Puri called Raghurajpur. Originally ‘Patta’ or the cloth is painted in free hand in a unique style with natural colours in intricate details. Inspired by mythological narratives, Pattachitra is the true pride of Odisha.

Dot Mandalas

Mandalas are geometric designs that started off as spiritual symbol in both Hinduism and Buddhism but as they infiltrated other cultures, Mandala became a general term for geometric patterns. Dot mandala paintings are done with multi colored dots in different sizes arranged mostly in circles on the surface to be painted.

Warli

Warli painting is a form of tribal art mostly created by the tribals from Maharashtra of India. Drawn mostly by the womenfolk, the important aspect of the art is to depict simple and detailed daily life in all its nuances. This includes pictures of men, women and children, animals, and scenes from a traditional social life.

Madhubani

Originating from the Madhuban village in the Indian state of Bihar, Madhubani is one of India’s most loved art forms. The Madhubani art finds its roots to the mythological time of Sita’s wedding when her father king Janaka ordered the entire city of Mithila to be decorated with beautiful paintings. Traditionally this is a feminine art form.

Pichwai

Pichwai painting is the traditional art form of rajasthan. They are intricate paintings on textiles which are typically hung behind the idol of the deities in local shrines. Elements of the beautiful Indian monsoon including Peacocks, Lotus and cows feature prominently in this style of paintings.
