Meet the Artist

Santoshi Shyam

Santoshi Shyam

From the very beginning, art was not just around her, it was in her blood. Her mother Rambai was a Gond artist and her father, Narmada prasad Tekam, also a respected Gond painter, carried forward the legacy of Jangarh Singh Shyam, the pioneer who placed Gond art on the global map. Growing up, her childhood was spent largely in Bhopal in an environment where Santoshi absorbed the artistic language of her people almost unconsciously. The dotting, the lines, the rhythmic filling of forms that turned simple animals and trees into mythic presences.

Santoshi Shyam’s true journey began in Patangarh, the birthplace of Gond painting. She began painting in quieter moments, her work flowing naturally toward depictions of birds, wild animals, and village life. Over time, her canvases matured into textured stories, not just motifs, but living echoes of Gond cosmology.

Recognition followed. Santoshi’s works were featured in the Tribal Museum’s prestigious Likhandra Gallery under the “Shalaka” solo exhibition series, a rare honour that affirmed her individual voice. She has also received the Kalidasa Award, marking her as one of Gond art’s powerful female voices. Today, she continues to create alongside her husband, Gond artist Rajendra Shyam Tekam, both as an artist and a partner in preserving Gond’s timeless stories. Her art balances heritage with individuality to carry forward Gond’s memory while painting her own story into its future.

Experience the soul of tribal storytelling through this authentic Gond artwork by the celebrated artist Santoshi Shyam. Known for her deep reverence for nature and masterful symbolism, Santoshi breathes life into the Gond tradition where art becomes a medium of connection and cultural memory.

At the heart of this piece is a powerful yet graceful face of a majestic bull, whose sweeping horns transform into a pair of birds mid-flight. Flanking the bull, two more birds bow gently, creating a dynamic contemporary composition. The artwork captivates with its blend of subtle and bright hues and meticulously detailed patterns. The artist's intricate linework and rhythmic repetition of motifs create a dynamic sense of movement and energy. The visual appeal and narrative are further heightened by the striking contrast between rich, earthy tones and vibrant birds.

Add this striking Gond masterpiece to your collection or gift it to someone who cherishes tradition and artistic brilliance.

Why Does This Artwork Stand Out?

  • Hand-Painted by Santoshi Shyam – A leading Gond artist with roots in traditional storytelling.

  • Versatile & Statement-Making Décor – A perfect blend of artistic elegance, tribal yet contemporary style of composition.

  • A perfect fit for interiors – It is an ideal investment for anyone who appreciates authentic tribal artistry with a contemporary touch.

Bring home a tale of wild imagination, tribal identity, and timeless folk expression.
