Birds on a Tree, Bhil Art by Geeta Bariya

Geeta Bariya paints this Bhil Art of Birds on a Tree. The painting reflects the beauty of nature and showcases the relationship of the tribal people who are connected to their environment. The curled branches of the tree rise from the bird’s feather like a headdress, connecting the realms of heaven and earth. The patterns used to depict the birds’ feathers are intricate and colourful, adding to the artwork’s beauty. On the other hand, the tree represents stability, growth, and the interconnectedness of all living things. Together they represent the harmonious relationship between the flora and humans and their interconnected bond. In Bhil culture, birds are associated with freedom, happiness, and spirituality. The art form reflects their reverence for nature and the animals that live in it.
