The Ocean of Start and End: Fish and Meramaids in Gond by Venkat Shyam

Venkat Shyam's Gond painting, showcases the Tale of the Beginning and End of Life, featuring two mermaids gracefully atop a large, mythical fish, rising with the waves. The fish's curve symbolizes life's start and end, while the waves represent its continuous journey.

Shyam's signature style, with intricate dots, half-concentric circles, and bold colors, gives the piece a mythic feel. The vibrant red fish, with its crescent shape and detailed scales, draws inspiration from the artist's community. Its ivory and crimson tail unfurls dramatically into the blue backdrop, conveying powerful movement.

The grey mermaids, with flowing hair, suggest an ancient connection to the ocean, their curved tails echoing the waves and fish, uniting water, spirit, and myth. The geometric blue and grey waves ground the fantastical elements in a serene aquatic setting.

Shyam's work showcases his ability to infuse figures with grace and narrative depth, whispering tales of oceanic secrets and fluid beauty. This piece not only exemplifies Gond art's richness but also Shyam's imaginative blend of tribal symbology with surreal storytelling.
