The Tree of Life: Food, Shelter and Survival in Bhil by Kamlesh Parmar

This exquisite artwork by Kamlesh Parmar beautifully exemplifies the rich, earthy aesthetic of Bhil art — one of the oldest tribal art forms of India, known for its distinctive use of dots and vibrant colors. At the heart of the painting stands a majestic, sprawling tree, rendered in bold shades of deep blue and outlined with delicate white dotted patterns that gracefully trace the flow of its branches and trunk. The tree bursts with life, adorned with leaves in shades of fresh green and dusky pink, creating a captivating interplay of colors. Nestled within the branches are six playful animals resembling monkeys and Cheetahs and forest dogs characterized by their vivid green, dark green and magenta bodies, expressive eyes, and fluid, curling tails. Their lively presence lends the composition a sense of joyous mischief, as they perch, hang, and frolic among the foliage. Beneath the protective canopy of the tree, two sturdy animals, perhaps representing forest dogs, stand watchfully, their dark green bodies patterned with concentric stripes and heart-like motifs in yellow and magenta dots, harmonizing with the tree’s intricate textures. The overall composition radiates a deep reverence for nature, portraying the interwoven relationship between flora and fauna in tribal life. Kamlesh Parmar’s deft use of dotted detailing — a hallmark of Bhil art — breathes rhythmic energy into the piece, celebrating the untamed beauty of the natural world. The artist's signature in Hindi at the bottom right corner subtly anchors the work within its indigenous roots, making it a timeless homage to tribal India’s artistic heritage.
