Whispers Beneath the Water

Description
Whispers Beneath the Water by Yashoda Devi is a serene portrayal of life within a fish pond, brought to life through the delicate rhythm of Khovar linework. The composition flows in gentle symmetry, where fish of varying forms glide amidst aquatic blooms. The monochrome palette of natural black on beige evokes depth and calm, reflecting both the stillness and movement of water.
Yashoda Devi’s fine brushstrokes and layered textural motifs reveal her sensitivity to natural harmony. Each pattern carries echoes of fertility, abundance, and renewal — central themes in the Khovar tradition, often tied to matrimonial and harvest rituals.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- A graceful depiction of aquatic life symbolising prosperity
- Hand-painted using natural pigments on handmade paper
- Exemplifies Yashoda Devi’s refined Khovar style of fluid linework
- A contemplative piece from the Justin Imam Collection
