The Keeper’s Embrace
Sold by

Description
The Keeper’s Embrace by Putli Ganju captures a moment of striking symbolism between a serpent, a cow, and a lizard, entwined within nature’s quiet rhythm. Each figure reflects the harmony and interdependence that define the Sohrai tradition, where life, sustenance, and spirit flow seamlessly together.
Using natural pigments in warm ochres, browns, and blacks, the artist weaves an organic balance between strength and gentleness. The serpent, often seen as both guardian and seeker, curves gracefully around the nurturing cow, creating a scene that speaks of protection and balance within the cycles of nature.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Created with natural pigments on handmade paper in traditional Sohrai style
- Depicts an intricate relationship between animals and their natural surrounding
- Expresses themes of balance, nourishment, and coexistence
- A fine example of Putli Ganju’s mastery in form, symbolism, and natural rhythm
