Ramrati Bai Baiga (b. 1979; Madhya Pradesh) is a contemporary artist whose paintings draw on folklore, religious imagery and the stories passed down through generations. Raised in the forested landscape of central India, she grew up surrounded by narratives about deities, animals and the natural world. Under the guidance of artist Ashish Swami, she developed a painting practice that brings these subjects into focus, drawing from her lived experience as well as the cultural traditions of the Baiga community.

Female figures occupy a prominent place in Ramrati’s work. Her paintings depict goddesses, ritual gatherings and ancestral figures, often exploring themes of creation, protection and women’s roles in religious life. She brings together human figures, animals and elements of the landscape in compositions that give particular attention to female deities and their place in local belief systems. Her choice of subjects reflects an interest in the stories, roles and forms of female power that have shaped the world around her.
