Adult Colouring Book – Gond Art (22.96€)
Adult colouring books are all the rage and rightfully so. They encourage us to switch off our screens and practice mindfulness - specially in these times of lockdowns. This colouring book is specially unique since the drawings in there are by Gond Artist – Venkat Raman Singh Shyam. The author of Finding my Way. We have featured him before in our articles here & here.
Give your loved ones a chance to lose themselves in the mesmerizing world of Chachan birds, the Katheli tree, snakes, animals, and plants created by Venkat Shyam.
An Original Gond Painting (395€)
An Art inspired gift list will be incomplete without a piece of art itself. This piece called “Living Together” by Santosh Maravi should give a beautiful message of harmony to your other half. You could use this to also hint to something more :)
