Tree of life in Gond by Manoj Tekam

This mesmerizing Gond painting by the talented artist Manoj Tekam beautifully captures the deep, mystical bond between nature and aquatic life through a remarkable fusion of a majestic tree and a vibrant fish. At the heart of the composition lies an intricately designed fish, its body adorned with rhythmic, wave-like patterns in calming shades of blue, punctuated with delicate yellow dots that lend the creature a sense of life and motion. The fish’s striking eye, sharply outlined in black, gazes outward with a soulful presence, embodying the Gond belief in the sentience and spirit of all living beings. Emanating from the fish’s back rises a grand Banyan tree, its trunk and branches painted in harmonious blue circular motifs that seamlessly blend with the fish’s form, suggesting an organic unity between land and water. The dense foliage, created with countless fine, overlapping grey leaves, cascades downward with flowing black tendrils, echoing the graceful movement of underwater flora or ancient vines. The vibrant red fins and tail of the fish contrast beautifully with the cooler tones of the tree, adding visual energy to the tranquil scene. Manoj Tekam’s masterful use of traditional Gond elements — such as repetitive patterns, stylized forms, and symbolic storytelling — turns this artwork into a lyrical meditation on the interconnectedness of nature’s realms. This piece not only celebrates the tribal reverence for all creatures but also narrates the timeless story of ecological harmony, where life above and below water is part of a continuous, sacred cycle.
