About the Artwork +

The rich tapestry of West Bengal's Kantha embroidery unfolds in Mahamaya Sikdar's exquisite creation. Historically, Kantha began as a resourceful practice where women transformed old fabrics into quilts, sarees, and household essentials with simple running stitches. This tradition, inspired by the patched robes of ancient Buddhist monks, is more than mere utility. Intricate geometric grids, formed by deep, running stitches, serve as the canvas for vibrant floral motifs and symbolic red dots – emblems of beauty and nature's cyclical abundance. A bold, double border of running stitches and V-shaped patterns frames each textile, a testament to the artist's meticulous dedication and the art's inherent completeness. Mahamaya Sikdar's work, imbued with a rustic charm that echoes Kantha's upcycled origins, breathes new life into this ancient craft. She seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary design, empowering artisans and ensuring Kantha's vibrant future. More than just preservation, her work sustains a legacy of resilience, creativity, and profound cultural identity.
