A tribal art form from the heart of Madhya Pradesh, Gond art is rooted in the spiritual world of the Gond tribe. The word 'Gond' comes from ‘Kond’, meaning green hill. Traditionally painted on mud walls using natural dyes, the art reflects a deep reverence for nature, mythology, and everyday life. Its distinctive style features intricate lines, dots, and dashes that animate flora, fauna, and folklore. Today, this centuries-old tradition thrives on paper and canvas, blending indigenous storytelling with contemporary expression.

Brajbhooshan Dhurve, based in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, is a Gond artist whose creative journey began in 2013 when he attended a three-month workshop guided by a close friend and mentor. Since then, he has dedicated over 12 years to practicing and perfecting the art form. His work is distinguished by intricate designs and unique patterns that often draw inspiration from nature, with recurring motifs of fish, fog, and rope reimagined through a contemporary lens.

Brajbhooshan has showcased his art in more than 30 exhibitions across India, where his pieces are admired for offering a fresh perspective while remaining firmly rooted in Gond traditions. For him, Gond art is not only an artistic practice but also a spiritual and cultural connection — a way of channeling energy through lines and patterns that tell stories of his community and its bond with nature. He sees every artwork as a bridge between heritage and modernity, carrying forward ancestral knowledge while engaging new audiences.
