My painting is rooted in my village culture, which is influenced by yoga and tantra.' (M. Irwin, 'Prafulla Mohanti', Ocula, 2020) Mohanti is an artist, writer, poet, dancer, architect and urban planner from Nanpur, Odisha and is renowned for his vibrant and deeply expressive artworks, two of which are featured here, that celebrate the essence of life, spirituality, and Indian culture. His paintings are characterized by bold colours, fluid forms, and intricate patterns, often drawing inspiration from his childhood memories of village life in Odisha; specifically his mother's bindi which feature heavily across his works. Mohanti's works blend modern abstraction with traditional Indian motifs, creating a unique visual language that reflects themes of harmony, joy, and the cosmic connection between humans and nature. His art, often symbolic and meditative, evokes a sense of universality while remaining deeply rooted in his cultural heritage.
