Gariba Singh Tekam

Gariba Singh Tekam is an Indian artist born in 1976. His painting has put down roots with a triple filiation: aboriginal art, Indian tribal art and vernacular art. He was inspired and influenced by the painter Jangarg Singh Shyam, who oriented him towards this passion and profession, namely painting. Simultaneously, the painter works with his wife at the Mankind Museum in Bhopal, where he put together a large fresco around the theme of the seven Gond brothers.

In the same lines as his mentor, Gariba Tekam glorifies color and forms. He claims to have a decorative and joyful style. His depictions of the tree of life: the Baja Tree, the Gond Gods... have become his favorite themes. The leitmotivs of the sacred trees, animals, colorful dreams, Gond divinities and Hindu prevail.
