Mahalaxmi Karn's painting are autobiographical reflections on her experiences as a young bride and mother, within a village in Bihar. Oscillating between her wishful imaginary expectations and the ground reality, her work expresses contemporary narratives from her daily life, in the vocabulary of Madhubani art.
