Echoes of the Ancient Forest
Sold by
Alka Imam
Description
Echoes of the Ancient Forest by Alka Imam draws inspiration from the Meso-Chalcolithic period, evoking a time when art, ritual, and survival were one. The painting captures a primordial jungle alive with stylised animals and plant forms, rendered in flowing patterns and earthy pigments.
Alka Imam channels the rhythm of prehistoric expression through Sohrai tradition, reimagining early human connections to nature. The dynamic composition, filled with symbolic motifs, invites reflection on the enduring bond between life and land — a conversation between the ancient and the present.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Crafted with natural pigments on handmade paper using traditional Sohrai technique
- Reflects the spirit of ancient tribal imagery and early symbolic art
- A unique blend of Meso-Chalcolithic themes and contemporary folk aesthetic
- Demonstrates Alka Imam’s sensitivity to heritage and natural storytelling
