Flow of Plenty by Philomina Tirkey

Sold by

Philomina Tirkey

Description

"Philomina Tirkey’s Flow of Plenty celebrates abundance through the sacred symbol of the fish, a motif of prosperity in tribal art across India. Its positioning with the larger fish overlaying and surrounding the smaller one makes it open to various interpretations. Does the painting convey abundance through the natural cycle that requires smaller fish to be eaten by bigger ones in a continouous cycle...or does it simply portray the two fish companionably swimming together even when they are of different species?

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • Embodies fertility and prosperity, key themes of Sohrai-Khovar art.
  • Created using earth-based pigments in traditional freehand style.
  • Strong yet balanced visual rhythm, reflecting Tirkey’s practiced control.
  • Ideal for those seeking grounded, meaningful Indian folk art.

A graceful ode to the cycles of nature that sustain both life and art."

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 means 'bridal chamber'. The painting is done in monochrome, using a white and black sgraffito technique to symbolize the womb and fertility for a nuptial chamber.
Is this painting handmade?
Yes. Indian Art Paintings on Rooftop, including Flow of Plenty, are handpainted by master artists across the country.
Do artists get Royalty for their paintings?
Yes, absolutely! At Rooftop, we believe in supporting our artists and preserving traditional Indian art. Each time a painting is sold, the artist receives a fair share of the proceeds. We also collaborate directly with artists to ensure they are compensated for their skill, time, and cultural contributions. By purchasing this painting from Rooftop, you are not only acquiring a beautiful piece of art but also helping to sustain the livelihoods of talented Indian artisans like Philomina Tirkey.
How should I care for the painting?
