The Painting

This Godna artwork portrays a tribal woman adorned with intricate tattoo-inspired patterns that celebrate identity, heritage, and tradition. Rendered in the art form's signature monochrome style, the geometric motifs reflect the enduring beauty of ancestral body art and the cultural stories woven into every design.

The Artform

Godna Art is a traditional folk art form inspired by the ancient tattooing practices of the tribal communities of Chhattisgarh. Characterized by intricate geometric patterns, floral motifs, and symbolic designs, the art reflects themes of identity, protection, and cultural heritage. Once practiced as permanent body art, Godna motifs are now beautifully adapted onto paper, canvas, and textiles, preserving a centuries-old tradition through contemporary artistic expression.

The Artist

After working with Bhajju Shyam for several years, Manoj prefers the tranquillity of his village, visiting cities primarily to source materials for his work. ManojÂ’s paintings often feature wildlife and nature motifs that reflect the culture and environment of Gondwana, and he has exhibited and sold works through galleries and auctions internationally.
