About the Artwork +

Renowned artist Dinesh Molela sways the viewers into the vibrant world of regional artistry through his captivating Terracotta Tiles artwork, showcasing the resplendent Goddess Momai. Hailing from the arid landscapes of Gujarat and the Kutch desert, Goddess Momai reigns supreme as the divine protector of the Rabari Tribe. Molela's exquisite depiction, intricately etched into terracotta, brings this revered deity to life. With a keen eye for color theory, Molela skillfully employs earthy tones to emulate the desert's warm embrace. The artform's motifs and patterns seamlessly blend tradition with innovation, paying homage to centuries of Rabari heritage. Mounted on a camel, Goddess Momai's representation exudes both power and grace, making Molela's creation a timeless piece of regional artistry.

    Art Form

    Terracotta

    Teracotta art has been practised in India for thousands of years, dating back to the Indus Valley civilization. Clay is used to make earthenware, figurines, and other ornamental items. Clay is dried and then fried at extremely high temperatures to allow it to take shape. The artform also has a spiritual importance, as it is claimed in Hinduism that this material uses the five components of the universe: air, water, fire, ether, and earth. States including as Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, and Rajasthan have a long and illustrious history with the art form.
