Child and Elephant Spirit by Malo Devi

Sold by

Description

Child and Elephant Spirit by Malo Devi, a 2003 Sohrai painting, depicts a childlike figure riding a large elephant-like creature, rendered in deep purples and blues. Malo Devi blends innocence with symbolism, turning a familiar village motif into a reflection of companionship and protection. The child’s outstretched arms echo themes of trust and belonging, while the animal’s curved form suggests strength rooted in gentleness.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • Portrays the nurturing bond between humans and animals in Sohrai tradition.
  • The use of vibrant purple tones modernises a rural aesthetic.
  • Expresses the rhythm of harvest and renewal through playful form.
  • Embodies warmth and spirit, perfect for collectors seeking soulful tribal art.

This piece celebrates harmony and continuity, evoking the shared pulse of life between people, animals, and the earth.

What is Sohrai painting?
Sohrai is a famous festival in Jharkhand, when the Sohrai artform flourishes. The harvest festival celebrates the end of monsoon, with paintings by women with multiple colours like red, black and white. It is a traditional practice, continuing from hundreds of years ago, even today, to celebrate harvest, soil fertility and food.
