Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors.

The tribal rudimentary art of the warlis, uses a circle, a triangle and a square. The circle and triangle come from their observation of nature, the circle representing the sun and the moon, the triangle derived from mountains and pointed trees. Only the square seems to obey a different logic and seems to be a human invention, indicating a sacred enclosure or a piece of land. Human and animal bodies are represented by two triangles joined at the tip; the upper triangle depicts the trunk and the lower triangle the pelvis. Their precarious equilibrium symbolizes the balance of the universe. This distinct style depicts the everyday life of the people keeping in mind the humans and nature share the same space and the peaceful coexistence. This artwork, denotes the good omen from their spiritual gods of good times to come. The local may translate this event of circling birds as a sign to sow the seeds for an abundant crop, name a child or proclaim a marriage. This highlights the Warli tribal philosophies and culture.
