Representing a shift in contemporary Mithila paintings, Komal Purbe’s work incorporates whimsical and fantastical elements of her own making that go beyond traditional narratives. Her works transcend contemporary realities to allude to possible futures for Mithila women. While she feels that many aspects of her culture are eroding, she continues to incorporate new vocabularies and experiments in order to stay relevant with the times.
