Meet the Artist

Santoshi Shyam

Santoshi Shyam

From the very beginning, art was not just around her, it was in her blood. Her mother Rambai was a Gond artist and her father, Narmada prasad Tekam, also a respected Gond painter, carried forward the legacy of Jangarh Singh Shyam, the pioneer who placed Gond art on the global map. Growing up, her childhood was spent largely in Bhopal in an environment where Santoshi absorbed the artistic language of her people almost unconsciously. The dotting, the lines, the rhythmic filling of forms that turned simple animals and trees into mythic presences.

Santoshi Shyam’s true journey began in Patangarh, the birthplace of Gond painting. She began painting in quieter moments, her work flowing naturally toward depictions of birds, wild animals, and village life. Over time, her canvases matured into textured stories, not just motifs, but living echoes of Gond cosmology.

Recognition followed. Santoshi’s works were featured in the Tribal Museum’s prestigious Likhandra Gallery under the “Shalaka” solo exhibition series, a rare honour that affirmed her individual voice. She has also received the Kalidasa Award, marking her as one of Gond art’s powerful female voices. Today, she continues to create alongside her husband, Gond artist Rajendra Shyam Tekam, both as an artist and a partner in preserving Gond’s timeless stories. Her art balances heritage with individuality to carry forward Gond’s memory while painting her own story into its future.

There’s a quiet poetry in this painting, a moment where the deer and the tree are no longer separate, but one. Santoshi Shyam captures this deep connection with flowing patterns and earthy hues, making the artwork feel alive. The branches stretch like whispers of the forest, wrapping around the deer in an eternal embrace. This artwork showcases a poetic fusion of a deer and a tree, where their forms intertwine seamlessly, symbolising their unity. Rich vibrant hues and rhythmic Gond patterns bring the painting to life. Each detail, from the graceful curves of the branches to the delicate markings on the deer, reflects the mastery of the artist.

Santoshi Shyam’s artwork beautifully conveys the sacred relationship between animals and the forest. Her work honours Gond heritage, preserving its rich cultural and spiritual significance.

Making it an ideal fit for any space with its compact size, this charming tribal beauty becomes a must add on to any art lover's collection.

If you are looking for original Indian paintings, this Gond painting is definitely a wonderful addition to your collection.

Why Does This Artwork Stand Out?

  • Hand-Painted by Santoshi Shyam – Renowned tribal Gond artist known for vibrant compositions and rich storytelling narratives.

  • A Calming Wildlife Wall Décor – Perfect for bedrooms, reading corners, or nature-themed interiors.

  • A Gift of Art - Want to gift someone a meaningful art gift, an Indian art painting by a master artist is sure to stay with them for a while!

Bring home the spirit of India’s culture. ‘Embrace of the Forest’ asks you to pause and get engrossed in its mesmerising beauty and grace.
