Aquatic Allure: Fishes and Turtles in Gond by Venkat Shyam

Gond artist Venkat Shyam portrays a mesmerising underwater scene where fish and turtles glide effortlessly through the calm waters, creating a sense of fluidity and peaceful coexistence. Originating in the tribal Gond community, which lives in close communion with nature, these paintings portray a strong belief that every aspect of nature is meaningful and sacred.

Schools of fish, depicted in a dazzling spectrum of reds, oranges, blues, violets, greens, and yellows, dominate the center of this composition, navigating the aquatic realm with graceful synchrony. Their choreographed movements create a vibrant dance of life beneath the surface, their diverse colors celebrating the richness of underwater ecosystems. Elegant turtles glide among the fish through clear waters, their slow, deliberate movements conveying wisdom and tranquility. The artist also incorporates white dots, representing common water bubbles, emerging through breaking waves. These bubbles symbolize the Supreme God and the origin of the Universe, acting as the artist's profound inspiration.

The blue background serves as a canvas that envelops this aquatic tableau, representing the deep and boundless expanse of the underwater world. The artwork showcases the Gond culture's deep connection with nature and its ability to convey the richness of aquatic life through their unique artistic tradition, bringing a unique, vibrant, yet serene energy to any space.
