Song of the Peacock Family
Sold by
Alka Imam
Description
Song of the Peacock Family by Alka Imam captures the quiet poetry of nature and kinship through the elegant forms of peacocks beneath forest branches. Each figure is stylised in the traditional Sohrai manner, marked by rhythmic symmetry and warm earthy tones.
The painting conveys grace and continuity, where the adult peacocks mirror one another in form and movement while the smaller bird symbolises renewal and life’s gentle rhythm. Through intricate linework and balanced composition, Alka Imam transforms a familiar forest scene into a lyrical celebration of harmony and belonging.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Created with natural earth pigments on handmade paper
- A masterful example of Sohrai art’s flowing geometry and symbolism
- Expresses familial love and balance through natural motif
- Demonstrates Alka Imam’s distinct sensitivity to rhythm and pattern
