Ravi Tekam

Ravi Tekam is a celebrated Gond artist, widely admired for his ability to weave stories through traditional tribal designs. His art is more than a visual experience—it is an oral tradition translated into form, carrying forward the age-old storytelling practices of the Gond community. Each canvas becomes a narrative of cultural memory, spirituality, and the community’s intimate bond with nature. Born in Bhopal, Ravi was deeply influenced by the vibrant village life of Patangarh and Sonpuri—two places that hold a central place in Gond artistic traditions. He grew up surrounded by creativity, as the son of renowned Gond artists Narmada Prasad Tekam and Rambai. From his father, he absorbed vivid accounts of rural life, everyday struggles, and ancestral stories; from his mother, he inherited a treasury of folktales and myths that shaped his imagination. This blend of lived experience and oral heritage became the foundation of his artistic voice.

Ravi’s paintings are instantly recognizable for their intricate patterns of dots, dashes, and fine lines, which form the backbone of Gond visual storytelling. His technique transforms simple figures of animals, birds, trees, and humans into dynamic, almost rhythmic compositions, alive with cultural symbolism. He often employs bold, contrasting colours, that bring energy to his work while preserving a meditative harmony.

For Ravi, each detail has meaning: birds represent freedom and community, animals embody strength and companionship, and trees stand as eternal symbols of life, shelter, and interconnectedness. Through these forms, he communicates the Gond belief that all living beings and natural elements are bound in an unbroken cycle of existence.

Ravi Tekam’s art does more than preserve tradition—it interprets it for the present. His works often explore the relationship between humans and the natural world, a theme at the heart of Gond philosophy. In his canvases, forests are not merely backdrops; they are sacred spaces inhabited by gods, spirits, and ancestral memories. By painting these scenes, Ravi reminds viewers of a worldview where nature is revered, not exploited, and where every creature has a role in the cosmic balance. Carrying forward the Tekam family’s artistic legacy, Ravi has established himself as an important voice among contemporary Gond artists. His ability to fuse ancestral knowledge with personal creativity makes his work resonate with audiences far beyond his community. Each painting is not just an artwork but also a story preserved for future generations, ensuring that the spiritual and cultural values of the Gond people remain alive and evolving.

Ravi Tekam’s artistry lies in transforming myths, memories, and village life into timeless visual narratives. With every brushstroke, he carries forward the Gond conviction that life, nature, and spirit are inseparably linked, offering viewers not only beauty but also a profound philosophy of coexistence.
