This project focuses on documenting Jain temple murals and paintings and extrapolating visual and stylistic elements from them. It also seeks to understand the evolution of Jain painting styles, tracing their development from manuscript illustrations to early fresco paintings. Rooted in Indian tradition, these artworks reflect a living cultural practice in which art and life are deeply interconnected, serving as expressions of the society that shaped the artists. Early Jain paintings were based on the artist’s direct perception rather than idealised representation. Figures were depicted as they were observed, capturing everyday pleasures, struggles, beliefs, and social practices. Realism, in the European sense, was not the objective; consequently, concepts such as linear perspective and spatial ordering differ from Western conventions. Instead, multiple perspectives were employed to reveal various actions within a single frame, with scenes positioned according to visual harmony rather than strict spatial logic. This project examines these characteristics to better understand the visual language and narrative approach inherent in Jain mural and painting traditions.
