About KOLAM ART from Grace Gitadeliula:

This book takes you on a Pictorial narrative journey of 25 different types of Kolam structures. - You get to see each Kolam type in its abstract pure form and then embedded in a narrative painted realm. These Contemporary, Kolam inspired paintings are supported by abstract poem-like sentences to give the reader a deeper understanding of their narrative and their healing qualities.

You can trace with index each and every Kolam type, draw, copy and find deeper inspiration in how to connect to the Earth realm we live in.

A tribute to the beauty that surrounds us, is within us, to behold and celebrate.
