Usta art, also known as Ustaad Shagird tradition, is a traditional form of Islamic miniature painting that originated in the Mughal courts of India. It involves highly detailed and intricate artwork, often featuring themes of courtly life, royal portraits, religious narratives, and floral motifs. Usta artists, known as Ustads, are highly skilled craftsmen who meticulously paint on various surfaces such as paper, silk, and even walls. They typically use natural pigments, gold leaf, and fine brushes to create their intricate designs. Today, Usta art continues to thrive, with contemporary artists blending traditional techniques with modern interpretations to create stunning works that pay homage to this rich cultural heritage.
