Bird With a Tree, Bhil Art by Geeta Bariya

Geeta Bariya’s Bhil Art painting depicts a group of birds posing on a tree, reflecting the beauty and gracefulness of these creatures. The tree is an integral part of Bhil art, and the curled branches rise from the bird’s feather like a headdress, connecting the realms of heaven and earth. The intricate and colourful patterns used to depict the birds’ feathers add to the artwork’s beauty, while also reflecting Bhil culture’s association of birds with freedom, happiness, and spirituality. The painting showcases the harmonious relationship between the flora and humans and their interconnected bond, reflecting the Bhil tribe’s reverence for nature and the animals that live in it.
