CROWL Art refers to all genres of visual art where motifs common to Celtic and Indian traditions are incorporated or used.

Traditional Indian art, particularly temple art, has several typical motifs that are symbolistic and regarded as auspicious. These motifs are used in a variety of situations. Very often traditional Indian, particularly Brahmin, homes will display these motifs and designs on their doorsteps, porches, walls, specified rooms, etc. Festivals, ceremonial occasions and special days will be marked with a greater display such artwork. Temples, particularly those in Orissa in eastern India, are adorned by numerous such abstract and symbolical art.

Celtic art also has a rich and hoary tradition. Interestingly, many motifs and designs in Celtic and Indian artistic traditions are similar. Many geometric shapes, both simple and complex, are found in both traditions. Hence a fusion of Celtic and Indian symbolistic art results in very interesting results, which the creators of CROWL have dubbed CROWL Art.
