Spirit of the Forest

Sold by

Juliet Fatima

Description

Created in 2005, 'Spirit of the Forest' by Juliet represents a striking balance between instinct and structure. The animal figure, rendered in bold black lines, feels both familiar and abstract, as if drawn from memory rather than observation. Its skeletal form and swirling tail capture the energy and rhythm central to Khovar tradition, where every curve and line carries symbolic meaning. Painted using natural earth pigments, the composition reflects themes of life, fertility, and transformation—recurring ideas in Jharkhand’s tribal art.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:
• Hand-painted with natural earth colours in the traditional Khovar style.
• Features a dynamic interpretation of animal imagery, both organic and symbolic.
• Demonstrates the confidence of freehand tribal line work without predefined outlines.
• A unique collectible that bridges ritual tradition and individual expression.

Ideal for collectors who appreciate authentic Indian folk art with raw, expressive energy, this piece speaks quietly of resilience and continuity.
