Artwork Description

Mixed Media on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed certificate of authenticity.

Embrace the Indigenous Creativity - Explore Aboriginal Art
This is a mixed-media artwork on stretched canvas, ready to hang. It comes with a signed certificate of authenticity. I have used vibrant colours and layers of acrylics mixed with Liquitex Soft Gel, a medium that enhances the surface gloss, colour depth and transparency of the paint. It also extends the colour range without affecting the acrylic stability. The result is a heavy body paint with an oil-like colour. The layers of acrylics create some depth and texture in the artwork.
The Stunning painting is inspired by the Cunnamulla Aboriginal culture, which comprises five different tribes: the Kunja people, who are the traditional owners of the Cunnamulla area, and the Kooma, Budjiti, Mardigan, and Kullilli people. The Kunja Aboriginal people are the descendants of Killamunda, Flora Maranoa, Maria Major and Jimmy Nyngan, who were among the first Aboriginal people to settle in the region. The Kooma people are those Aboriginal people who are descended from Maggie of Bendena, Kitty of Bollon, Sarah of Fernlee, Mary Button of Murra Murra, Susan Mitchell, Annie Murray, Julia Powell, Lucy Sheridan and other ancestors. The artwork celebrates the rich and diverse heritage of these tribes and their connection to the land and the Warrego River, where they perform the welcome-to-country ceremony at the start of Cully Fest, a festival that showcases the outback culture and everyday life.

 I am proud to present this beautiful painting that I made with bright colours and layers of acrylics. I used Liquitex Soft Gel to enhance the gloss, depth, and transparency of the colours, and to make the paint more fluid without compromising its stability. The final artwork is exhibited on canvas and includes a signed certificate that confirms its uniqueness.

The artist has carefully chosen the colors for this piece, which reflect the natural hues found in Australian flora, specifically the Banksia, a genus that is native to the region. Banksia's unique form and coloration are exquisitely portrayed through the artist's expert application of mixed media. The textural qualities of the painting are further enhanced through the use of Liquitex Soft Gel.Embrace the Indigenous Creativity - Explore Aboriginal Art

The artist's vibrant colors create a dynamic visual experience that captivates the senses. To enhance the artwork's aesthetic appeal, the artist used Liquitex Soft Gel, which increases gloss, depth, and transparency while enriching the paint's texture and finish. The artwork comes ready to display with its canvas stretched and a signed certificate of authenticity.Aboriginal art is a window into the rich tapestry of Indigenous Australian culture, embodying millennia of traditions and storytelling. The intricate layers of acrylics in such artwork not only add depth and texture but also symbolize the complex layers of history and spirituality that are intrinsic to Aboriginal life. The use of varnish not only protects the painting but also enhances the vibrancy of the colors, much like the resilience of the culture it represents. The inclusion of a wire for hanging and protective paper on the backside signifies the care and respect given to the artwork, ensuring its longevity for future generations to appreciate.
The use of acrylic paints allows artists to express cultural identity boldly. Each stroke and color choice resonates with the spirit of the land and its people. The dynamic composition of such a painting reflects the complex relationship between the artist and their heritage, a dance of vibrant hues and textures that brings to life the stories and ceremonies passed down through generations. The glossy varnish finish not only protects the artwork but also enhances the depth and intensity of the colors, making each element stand out in sharp relief against the canvas.
