Lawrence Rinder, Director of the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive said of MILTILIA PAINTING:

"Over the past several decades, the artists of the Mithila communities have produced an astonishingly brilliant body of works on paper, drawing on their centuries old iconographic traditions and techniques as well as evolving new imagery and approaches that reflect global transformations. I have rarely encountered such a highly concentrated number of exceptionally gifted artists. They are a treasure!”
