The Tree of Abundance
Sold by
Rukmani Devi
Description
The Tree of Abundance by Rukmani Devi is a captivating depiction of the coconut tree, a symbol of prosperity and life in many Indian traditions. Rendered in monochrome using natural pigments, the composition evokes a sense of quiet strength and harmony. Birds rest gracefully on the fronds, their presence bringing movement and vitality to the serene landscape.
The artist’s signature linear detailing and bold brushwork showcase her mastery over the Khovar technique. Every curve and texture celebrates the intricate bond between nature’s elements, capturing both fertility and shelter within the sacred form of the tree.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- A symbolic portrayal of fertility and abundance in Khovar tradition
- Hand-painted using natural pigments on handmade paper
- Exemplifies Rukmani Devi’s expressive and balanced monochrome style
- A serene piece from the Justin Imam Collection
