The Tree of Pakad in Gond by Sukhiram Maravi

Master artist Sukhiram Maravi captures the essence of the monsoon season in this captivating Gond painting, depicting a large, stylized Pakdi tree. For the Gond people, the arrival of the monsoon means it's time to enjoy the leaves of this tree, which become soft and perfect for cooking. This artwork beautifully transforms this simple, natural subject into a rich and symbolic composition.

The massive Pakdi tree dominates the painting with its thick trunk—a complex mosaic of warm browns, yellows, and intricate black and white line patterns. Its roots spread out and intertwine with the patterned earth, creating a sense of a strong, nurturing foundation. A dense canopy of stylized leaves, rendered with fine black linework, extends upward from the branches. The entire scene is set against a plain background, allowing the intricate details of the tree to be the central focus.

The painting effortlessly showcases Maravi's distinct artistic style through his signature Torana pattern, which forms graceful semi-circular bands of geometric triangles and dots, reminiscent of traditional Indian garlands. His core inspiration lies in the intricate beauty of nature and the rich narratives of tribal life, blending historical and contemporary perspectives.

Through this beautiful rendition, the master artist brings nature into focus, highlighting its generous spirit as a selfless provider. The painting serves as a powerful reminder for humans to cherish and honor the abundance that nature so freely gives.
