Hand-Painted Beautiful Elephant Gond Art Painting by Durgabai Vyam

In this acrylic painting on paper, Durgabai Vyam captures the majestic presence of an elephant adorned with birds, a theme deeply rooted in Gond art—a traditional tribal art form from Madhya Pradesh, India. The elephant, a symbol of strength and wisdom, is intricately embellished with vibrant birds, reflecting the harmonious relationship between animals and nature in Gond mythology. The meticulous dot and line work, characteristic of Gond art, brings the scene to life, infusing it with energy and movement. Durgabai Vyam, born in 1973 in Barbaspur, Madhya Pradesh, is a distinguished artist renowned for her contributions to Gond painting. She began her artistic journey at the age of six, learning the art of digna from her mother—a ritual of painting geometric patterns during weddings and harvest festivals. Her early works were well-received within her community. Over the years, Durgabai has created paintings for various publications and exhibited her works both nationally and internationally. In 2022, she was honored with the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian award, recognizing her exceptional contributions to the arts.
