'Gond paintings' are a form of folk and tribal art practiced by one of the largest tribes in India.
This tribal art-form is as old as the community itself - that is, at least 1400 years.
The people of Gond Tribe had a belief that viewing a good image begets good luck and thus they decorated the walls & floors of their houses with traditional art work.
Gond paintings are a reflection of man's close connection with his natural surroundings. While a majority of Gond paintings do take inspiration from nature, it isn't the only source of ideas. They also turn to the myths and legends of India or showcase images from the daily lives and dreams in their art.
