Born and raised in the heart of Odisha, Manoj Jain grew up immersed in Saura tribal traditions. From a young age, the rhythm of local festivals, ritual dances, and ancestral wall art shaped visual sensibility and piqued an interest in art. Encouraged by elders and artists in his village, he began replicating ceremonial motifs using natural pigments. His art matured through mentorship from local masters, slowly morphing into a distinctive style where each composition is vibrant with energy, and every curve or line signifies life’s interconnectedness. Today Manoj’s paintings, especially pieces like “A Symphony of Trees’ Life” , breathes motion and harmony into the traditional art form in a contemporary world. His works are celebrated for their vibrant flow, seamless complexity, and rooted authenticity, bringing Saura’s cultural heartbeat to modern canvases.
