Guardians of the Grove

Sold by

Juliet Fatima

Description

Guardians of the Grove', painted by Juliet in 2016, captures the close relationship between animals, birds, and the land that sustains them. Juliet’s Sohrai painting features a large horned animal, its body patterned with glowing ochre and yellow shapes, accompanied by a smaller calf and birds resting along its back and around its feet. The scene reflects balance and care in nature, where every being finds its place within the cycle of life. Rendered in natural pigments on paper, the painting retains the raw textures and grounded rhythm typical of traditional Sohrai wall art.

This work would appeal to collectors who appreciate tribal and rural Indian art that speaks of coexistence, simplicity, and natural design.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Authentic Sohrai painting using earth-based pigments.
• Portrays harmony between species in an unembellished, honest form.
• Handcrafted by a tribal woman artist continuing the matrilineal Sohrai tradition.
• Blends cultural symbolism with contemporary visual balance.

A thoughtful piece that brings warmth, narrative, and ancestral memory into any collection.

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.
Is this painting handmade?
Yes. Indian Art Paintings on Rooftop, including Guardians of the Grove, 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 Juliet.
How should I care for the painting?
Keep Guardians of the Grove away from direct sunlight and humidity. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, and frame the piece to preserve its surface and colour.
