Flow of Plenty by Philomina Tirkey

"Philomina Tirkey’s Flow of Plenty celebrates abundance through the sacred symbol of the fish, a motif of prosperity in tribal art across India. Its positioning with the larger fish overlaying and surrounding the smaller one makes it open to various interpretations. Does the painting convey abundance through the natural cycle that requires smaller fish to be eaten by bigger ones in a continouous cycle...or does it simply portray the two fish companionably swimming together even when they are of different species?

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Embodies fertility and prosperity, key themes of Sohrai-Khovar art.
• Created using earth-based pigments in traditional freehand style.
• Strong yet balanced visual rhythm, reflecting Tirkey’s practiced control.
• Ideal for those seeking grounded, meaningful Indian folk art.

A graceful ode to the cycles of nature that sustain both life and art."
