This is an original Gond painting, signed by the artist, inspired by the delicate beauty of birds perched high. It evokes a sense of stillness and contemplation. Handcrafted by our Gond master artist, the intricate patterns bring life and motion to the piece, honoring the Gond philosophy that every being and object has a spirit. A perfect addition to spaces needing a touch of serenity.

The Timeless Art of Gond Painting, our master artist is a member of the Gond tribe—the largest indigenous group in India, spread across Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. He carries within him the legacy of an ancient art form, a tradition that once decorated the mud walls of homes deep within the forests of India.

The Gonds have always lived in harmony with nature, and their art reflects that bond. Their murals, painted with natural pigments, told stories of the mahua tree at the heart of their lives, the animals they shared their jungles with, and the birdsongs that filled their days. These were not just paintings but celebrations of the vibrant, living world around them.

Over time, Gond artists moved their work from walls to paper and canvas, evolving the craft while holding tightly to its roots. Our artist, who paints with extraordinary precision and passion, uses modern paints to create striking compositions of bright colors, intricate black-and-white lines, and rhythmic dots made with the backs of sticks. Every piece he creates pulses with life, as the Gonds believe that everything they paint has life.

But his journey is not without struggle. As he paints each masterpiece, he also battles to preserve this tradition, to convince the next generation to pick this up and continue this incredible legacy. Through āsmi london, we are proud to support him in this mission, helping his breathtaking art reach homes and hearts far beyond the forests of India.

When you bring a Gond painting into your home, you are not just buying art—you are bringing home an ancient endangered art that has had fresh life breathed into it.
