At I Am An Artist India, every Pattachitra painting is 100% handmade using premium acrylics and traditional-style detailing on high-quality cotton canvas.

About Pattachitra Paintings
A Pattachitra painting is an artistic and devotional narrative told through lines, patterns, and colours. Traditionally painted on cloth coated with chalk and gum, Pattachitra is known for its strong outlines, decorative borders, mythological storytelling, and natural pigments. The themes often revolve around the Jagannath temple, incarnations of Vishnu, and tales from the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
At I Am An Artist India, our artists use acrylic on canvas to replicate the same depth and precision while enhancing durability for modern decor. Each artwork reflects discipline, devotion, and geometry — making it not just a piece of folk heritage, but a statement of artistic excellence.

About I Am An Artist India – How Our Artists Create Pattachitra Paintings
Each Pattachitra begins with a sacred ritual — the artist purifies the workspace and prepares the surface through traditional coating. The outline is then meticulously drawn using fine black lines, followed by layering natural or acrylic colours in bold, flat tones. The borders are decorated with intricate motifs of flowers, creepers, or geometric patterns.
For modern adaptations, artists experiment with minimal designs, metallic highlights, and abstract story elements while maintaining traditional structure. Every artwork is coated with archival varnish to preserve colour richness, signed, certified, and shipped safely across the globe.
Care Tips for Pattachitra Paintings
-
Clean gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
-
Avoid direct sunlight or damp environments.
-
Frame using acid-free backing to preserve colours.
-
Use diffused LED lighting for best visual clarity.
-
When storing, wrap carefully in acid-free paper and bubble wrap.
