Art
Fascinating to realise how visual art has inspired us and has been an integral part of our evolution dating back to the cave age. With advent of time and industrial civilization the primeval art forms cultivated over centuries, were forgotten. However the traditional heritage of creating them was passed on through generations of skilled artisans. It’s our privilege to collaborate with several such National Award Winning skilled masters of different genres to offer you authentic art.
Aesoteric is devoted to revive these amazing and exquisite art forms like Madhubani, Kantha, Baluchari, Pattachitra, etc. based on mythology, epics, courtly ceremonies and much more transforming each unique piece of art into a story board.
We further adopt and blend these wonderful art forms into diverse items of utility for a modern home, thus amalgamating the modern age with centuries of bygone era.
