Indian Colours

Curated by Nafeesa, Indian Colours is a soulful collection that captures the vivid spirit of India through its most evocative language — colour. Rooted in the country’s diverse artistic traditions, this collection is a tribute to the subcontinent’s cultural richness, where every shade carries meaning, memory, and emotion. From the sun-drenched yellows of Rajasthan’s deserts to the deep indigos of the southern coasts, each artwork brings forward the chromatic essence of India’s landscapes, festivals, textiles, and rituals. The collection thoughtfully bridges the gap between the old and the new — embracing earthy tones reminiscent of folk and tribal crafts while boldly introducing the confident palettes of contemporary Indian expression. Featuring four remarkable Indian artists, each with a distinct voice and visual language, Indian Colours offers a dynamic range of styles. Their works embody both personal narratives and collective histories, reflecting everything from spiritual symbolism to everyday life. Through texture, pattern, and pigment, they honour ancestral techniques while reimagining them for modern sensibilities. This collection invites you to explore how colour transcends function and becomes a form of storytelling — where saffron is more than a pigment, and vermilion holds sacred weight. Whether it’s the warmth of a rural village scene or the electric energy of an abstract composition, each piece in Indian Colours is a window into India’s emotional and visual identity. At Elisium Art, we believe in spotlighting authentic voices from around the world. With Indian Colours, we celebrate the depth and beauty of Indian artistry and offer collectors a meaningful way to connect with a timeless tradition through a contemporary lens.
