Eye of the Peacock

This Gond artwork depicts a majestic bird in graceful motion, its elongated neck bent downward in an almost meditative gesture. With bold turquoise and orange hues balanced by intricate scale-like textures on its wing, the bird radiates both elegance and vitality.

In Gond traditions, birds—especially peacocks and cranes—are seen as messengers of the skies and symbols of beauty, renewal, and spiritual connection. The artist enhances this symbolism through meticulous linework and rhythmic patterns that suggest the bird’s feathers shimmer with life. Installed along a staircase wall, the artwork transforms the passage into a vibrant journey, where folk storytelling meets architectural space.
