Guardians of the Grove

Guardians of the Grove', painted by Juliet in 2016, captures the close relationship between animals, birds, and the land that sustains them. Juliet’s Sohrai painting features a large horned animal, its body patterned with glowing ochre and yellow shapes, accompanied by a smaller calf and birds resting along its back and around its feet. The scene reflects balance and care in nature, where every being finds its place within the cycle of life. Rendered in natural pigments on paper, the painting retains the raw textures and grounded rhythm typical of traditional Sohrai wall art.

This work would appeal to collectors who appreciate tribal and rural Indian art that speaks of coexistence, simplicity, and natural design.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Authentic Sohrai painting using earth-based pigments. • Portrays harmony between species in an unembellished, honest form. • Handcrafted by a tribal woman artist continuing the matrilineal Sohrai tradition. • Blends cultural symbolism with contemporary visual balance.

A thoughtful piece that brings warmth, narrative, and ancestral memory into any collection.
