Tribal Art
Keeper of Balance by Dulari Ekka
Sold byDulari Ekka
Description
"In Keeper of Balance, Dulari Ekka interprets the age-old theme of sustenance and survival. The large bird, rendered in bold black against a pale backdrop, holds a smaller creature in its beak—an image both natural and ceremonial. The textured brushwork and firm outlines reflect Ekka’s command over traditional Khovar techniques, once used to decorate bridal chambers. Here, the motif becomes both personal and universal, celebrating nature’s interdependence.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Minimal palette emphasizing symbolic storytelling over detail.
- Combines narrative depth with the spontaneity of freehand tribal painting.
- Created with natural colours sourced locally, in keeping with ritual tradition.
- Appeals to collectors who appreciate raw, story-driven folk art.
A grounded and introspective piece that speaks softly of balance and survival."

What is special about Khovar painting?
Khovar Painting is a tribal painting tradition prominent in the villages of Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh district. It is traditionally created to adorn the wedding room of a bride and groom; Khovar itself meaning 'bridal chamber'.
