Gitanjali Das is a rare female artist in Oriya Pattachitra, and a student of the master artist Arjun Maharana. For over two decades she practised her art with her husband, the renowned Pranab Narayan Das, at his atelier in Puri. He tragically succumbed to Covid in 2021, but Gitanjali continues the tradition. Gitanjali paints on silk fabric and on palm leaves, telling stories of gods and goddesses, forests and nature, in exquisitely intricate detail. Painted with fine brushes that are almost nib-like, and natural pigments made from ground minerals, each exceptional artwork can take several months to complete, and is both a testament to the artist’s skill and a true labour of love.
