The theme of the paintings is mainly taken from folk tales and Gond mythology. The central theme of Gond paintings is nature. Gond artists portray nature in different ways in their paintings because they believe that human life and nature are intertwined. The realization of a bag requires 3 to 4 days of work.

Our partner

These bags are made by our partner Suri in India who makes our zero waste products in his workshop for Rue Rangoli, in particular bulk bags and other bags for our professional customers. These bags are then given to artists in the Gond community who then paint on them.

With the advent of digital, this art is in danger, young people prefer to turn to other professions that bring in more. And the artists see their copied art photographed and printed digitally without any royalties paid.

With our partner Suri in India, we support these craftsmen to perpetuate their know-how by promoting the training of young people by their older peers.
