SIMSUM ARTS

The name of this art style comes from Nirmal, the region where it first appeared. The Kakatiya kingdom was when the Nirmal art first began to take shape. In the 14th century, a group of craftspeople known as the Naqash performed this skill. The Mughals were such patrons of skill and art because they loved it so much. These artists were brought to the princely state of Hyderabad in the 1950s by Lady Hyderi, who also promoted their craft. These paintings’ hues are derived from diverse plants, minerals, and herbs. These paintings’ subjects are influenced by Ajanta and other Mughal works of art. The vibrant gold paintings are set on a black background.
