Miniature art is gaining momentum with artists taking it to more experimental territories
Olivia Fraser travelled to India in 1989 with her boyfriend and now husband William Dalrymple. She fell in love with miniature paintings when she first encountered them at the National Museum, Delhi. Then in the early 2000s, she decided to apprentice under a traditional artist from Jaipur, Ajay Sharma. Her next stint was in 2005 as she joined a studio in Delhi that specialised in Pichwai painting from the Nathdwara tradition in Rajasthan. Her works were on display along with those of 26 other artists at the recently concluded exhibition An Alternative Contemporary, curated by Waswo X Waswo, at Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts in Panaji, Goa.
