The Gond artist, Rajendra Kumar Shyam, showcases his mastery of the technique, capturing the essence of the natural world with a unique and captivating style. It is characterized by its bold, geometric forms, vibrant colours, and intricate patterns. The painting has a majestic tree foliage in the background. The tree is rendered with intricate detail, capturing its texture without colour usage. Five intertwined snakes dance around the roots of the tree. Their vibrant hues contrast with the muted tones of the canvas. The snakes' tails rise sinuously towards the tree, their heads lifted in a hypnotic trance. The snake painting is in a rich colour palette of green, orange, mustard and brown. Their scales shimmer with a lifelike lustre. The canvas background is a deep, earthy tone, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The artwork exhibits the distinct characteristics of Gond art, an ancient Indian folk painting tradition.
