Indian Art

Elephant art for the walls is a fun way to add color and also honor an important animal in Indian culture. Elephants represent wisdom and royal power in India and both contemporary Indian artists and those of ancient times will depict elephants in regal jewelry, robes and other signs of affluence and importance. In addition to wall art, you can find drapes, lamp shades and pillows with elephant themes to complete your look. Buddhist art is another style that you may want to include in your Indian decor. The image of Buddha represents the founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Guatama, a prince from northern India. It is also said to represent the philosophy of self-perfection and the four truths. Intricate statues of Buddha are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from miniatures to life-sized representations. If statues aren’t your thing or space is limited, Buddhist images can be framed in gold or silver and hung on the walls. You may even consider a wall display that includes a framed Buddha art print as a focal point, surrounded by sconces or Indian textiles.
