Folk Paintings - 4 - Gond

Gond from Madhya Pradesh and around

Steeped in beliefs and emotions sound

 

A good picture view

And good luck follow you

From this belief sprouted the wish

To decorate home walls and niche

Every form of nature has a spirit

Be it a hill, river, rock or tree

A belief system steeped in reverence

Inspired to pay homage

To natural sources divine

Manifestation took shape in forms and figurines

Lines inner and outer drawn with meticulous perfection

The magic lies in the sense of flow and motion

3D effect with dots and dashes

The daily chores, myths, and legends

Precious history of heritage.
