About Padma Arts
Tanjore or Thanjavur Paintings as they are called are truly a reflection of the beautiful, rich, full bodied colors which vie with the exquisite filigree work to overwhelm the eye. The Art of Gold as they are appropriately called, these Paintings mainly depict the themes with Gods and Goddesses. These paintings today adorn the household drawing rooms, corporate office corridors, pooja rooms etc and are zealously guarded by those who have them. Truly a case of owner’s pride and neighbor’s envy mainly because of it’s uniqueness and technique among the various art forms and also in terms of its style. The technique of these paintings was shrouded in mystery because the artists kept it a close secret , but as years passed by and with the declining patronage from the Kings and rulers and with work hard to come by they were forced to relent and the technique used by them spread to others. With this the paintings began to adorn the walls of homes of the rich noblemen.
