Gond art is a folk art form created by the people of the Gond tribe in Madhya Pradesh in India. The Gonds believe that viewing good images brought in good luck, and the creation of images is done with the reverence of sacred worship. The Gond people were initially a foraging community and their life was centered around the forests, hence nature and wildlife motifs are most common. The Gond art style is characterized by the use of lines, dots and dashes, floral and nature inspired shapes and patterns like the ones resembling fish scales, drops of water and seed shapes. The sense of movement is established through the curves and strokes of the lines. Red, blue, yellow, and white are the colours most commonly used. These paints are usually derived and extracted from organic sources such as coloured soil, flowers, plant leaves and sap, charcoal, etc.

Recently learnt that frogs are pansexual! While it is really problematic to impose human understanding of gender and sexuality to animals, the fact that frogs do not mate simply based on gender seems pretty cool!

It is an added surprise to me because for the longest time, the frog emoji was my favourite emoji of all time!!!

The patterns are borrowed from a folk art style called Gond Art, that is mainly practiced by the Gond tribe. The lines and the dots are intricate. Though simple, they are extremely exhaustive to draw because of the time consuming repetition of patterns. Which is why this style is mainly practiced by communities who come together to make the art work. I did it alone, but still the result is so beautiful and I love working with it!
