Elephant in lotus pond in Gond by Venkat Shyam

This enchanting Gond painting by Venkat Shyam radiates a serene, almost magical atmosphere, as it beautifully captures the gentle coexistence of an elephant within a blooming aquatic lotus habitat.

Dominating the canvas is a strikingly patterned blue elephant, its body meticulously adorned with countless tiny white dots, symbolising the dot or bindu, signifying the origin of the universe, and creating a textured, tactile sense of the animal’s grand form. The elephant’s large ears and curved trunk are shaded in complementary deep hues of navy and indigo, adding depth and personality to its placid expression. Surrounding the elephant are vibrant pink and yellow lotus blossoms, their delicately layered petals standing in sharp, graceful contrast against the bold, fiery orange background.

The lotuses rise from slender, swaying stems, their leaves rendered in textured greens, suggesting the gentle ripple of water. Scattered throughout this idyllic pond-like scene are schools of red and blue fish, swimming playfully between the stems and beneath the gentle curve of the elephant’s body, adding movement and life to the composition.

In this beautiful composition, the master artist showcases his signature pattern of "half concentric circles," symbolizing his village and community. The harmonious integration of animal and floral elements in this painting speaks to the Gond community’s deep reverence for nature’s interconnectedness, where animals, water, and plants thrive in unity.

Through intricate patterns, fluid forms, and symbolic storytelling, Venkat Shyam masterfully celebrates the symbiotic beauty of wildlife and natural habitats in this captivating artwork.
