Celestial Horse in Flight in Gond by Venkat Shyam

In this surreal Gond painting, artist Venkat Shyam depicts a majestic winged horse soaring above temple domes, capturing the essence of spiritual transcendence and divine journey. Gond art is a distinct tribal tradition known for its rhythmic linework, intricate patterns and symbolic storytelling that connects the natural and cosmic worlds.

At the center of this vibrant composition is a flying horse portrayed in a textured dot pattern, its powerful wings stretched wide against an orange sky. Suspended from its mouth is a red bag, adding a sense of narrative mystery. Beneath the horse, ornate domes rise, hinting at temples or earthly realms left behind, enhancing the idea of ascent and higher consciousness.

In Gond tradition, the horse is a powerful symbol of speed, strength, prosperity and movement between worlds. When adorned with wings, the horse becomes a mythical figure of transcendence, representing a journey beyond physical limitations into the spiritual or divine plane. In Hindu mythology, this winged horse also carries deep significance. It is said to be the mount of Kalki, the final avatar of Vishnu, who is prophesied to appear at the end of the Kali Yuga to restore righteousness.

This association gives the artwork a deeper layer of meaning, connecting it to rebirth, cosmic order and divine intervention.
It stands as a testament to the Gond community’s rich visual language, combining folklore, philosophy and fine craftsmanship in every brushstroke, making it a powerful and meaningful addition to any space.
