Keeper of the Hearth
Phulaso Devi
Description
"Keeper of the Hearth portrays the gentle dignity of a mother cow, an image central to tribal life and spirituality. In this Khovar creation, Phulaso Devi transforms simplicity into symbolism. The form, outlined in deep earthen black, stands steady beside a vessel of nourishment; a quiet nod to care, sustenance, and continuity.
Each brushstroke reflects the artist’s deep-rooted reverence for nature’s giving forces. The intricate border frames the composition like a woven memory, grounding the cow as both a nurturing spirit and a protector of the household. Rooted in ritual yet universal in its tenderness, this artwork speaks softly of endurance, compassion, and the rhythm of rural existence.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Crafted in the Khovar tradition using natural earth pigment
- Embodies the sacred presence of the cow as a nurturing force
- Minimalist yet profoundly symbolic composition
- A timeless representation of devotion and balance in everyday life
