NAMSAI, Jul 16: The mundane boundary walls of the upcoming Water Treatment Plant (WTP), a multipurpose project along the picturesque bank of Marwa rivulet which aims to promote tourism while ensuring potable water to Chowkham and adjoining areas in Namsai district is now coming alive gradually with a series of mural paintings that depict the various facets of Khampti tribe and Buddhist art and culture.
The unique idea has been conceived by Sunela Linggi, a young artist who has recently graduated from the Department of Fine Arts and Music, Rajiv Gandhi University. While giving her final touches to the murals that capture the culture of Namsai district, Linggi informed that she is contemplating opting painting as a career since it has great opportunities to offer. The young artist and her team had already completed an assignment at RIWATCH museum in Lower Dibang Valley district where they painted exquisite traditional portraits. “Paintings of this kind would be an eye opener for the young generation and also help the tourists in having a fair understanding of the culture of the place,” she added.
Degree holders in Fine Arts degree are now the sought-after professionals in multiple domains such as cinema, television, advertising, designing, animation, music industry, publishing houses, product design companies, art studios, educational institutions etc.
