Ramesh Bariya

Ramesh Bariya was born in 1983 in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. Coming from the Bhils tribe, the third largest tribal community in India, he is the son of the famous artist Bhuri Bai. The Bihls developed an art derived from clay reliefs that decorate the walls of their houses and the sacred spaces of their villages.
