Signed certificate of authenticity.

“We look to the “Morning Star, the first light, and remember Baiyami and Gyian the Whale’s journey from the Mirrabooka (the Milky Way) to spread the kinship system among all living things - as Baiyami descended upon the empty land he crushed the mountain of Yango and suddenly a light appeared in the eastern sky, it was the birth of the Morning Star” (Darkinjung ElderGavi Duncan)The new world was born then Baiyami said to Gyian, "This will be your Dreaming place. You shall reign over these lands and waters, my friend. Your kin will forever live in these sacred realms on Earth. Go and give what I have given to you, the kinship of life. Gyian went into the lands taking with him the spirit of Baiyami.
Baiyami ascended back to the Mirrabooka. During the dreamtime period Gyian intermingled with other creatures , passing on the Laws of Baiyami. He later changed form from a bird of the land to live as he does today in the ocean as a whale. This was the birth of Gyian on Earth.

This painting has many layers of built-up acrylics with a high-quality varnish and painted sides it comes with a wire stretched across the back and the canvas on the backside is taped up with a protective paper with a certificate of authenticity adhered to the back of the artwork This painting depicts the creation story of the world and the kinship system, as told by the Darkinjung people of Australia. In the foreground, the majestic Gyian the Whale soars through the starry expanse of the Mirrabooka (Milky Way), his body shimmering with cosmic hues. Beside him stands the radiant Baiyami, the Sky Father, his presence exuding divine power and wisdom. Below them lies the Earth, a vast and unformed landscape shrouded in darkness. As Baiyami descends, his touch awakens the land, bringing forth mountains, rivers, and teeming The birth of the Morning Star, a symbol of hope and new beginnings, illuminates the scene as Gyian dives into the newly formed oceans, carrying the sacred Laws of Baiyami with him. The painting's layered textures and rich colors evoke the interconnectedness of all living things. The ripples of Gyian's movement echo in the swirling clouds, while the vibrant greens and blues of the Earth mirror the celestial tapestry above. This visual connection underscores the message of the story: that we are all part of a vast and interconnected web of life, each creature bound to one another by the shared breath of Baiyami. Overall, this painting is a visually stunning and symbolically rich representation of a powerful creation myth. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection to the natural world and the responsibility we have to each other and the planet we share "The Whale’s Journey: The Awakening 11" is a stunning and thought-provoking artwork that would be a welcome addition to any home or collection. "The Whale’s Journey: The Awakening 8" is a beautiful and evocative painting that tells a powerful story. The use of vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes captures the energy and dynamism of the creation story. The contrast between the dark Earth and the radiant bodies of Baiyami and Gyian is particularly striking. The way the whale's tail wraps around the Milky Way suggests a sense of interconnectedness and cosmic balance. This painting I have created is not only visually appealing but also thought-provoking. It invites the viewer to contemplate the origins of the universe, the interconnectedness of all living things, and the importance of respecting the natural world. "The Whale’s Journey: The Awakening 8" is a truly unique and meaningful artwork. Overall, "The Whale’s Journey: The Awakening 8" is a stunning and thought-provoking artwork that would be a welcome addition to any home or collection.

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.Embracing Indigenous creativity is paramount in exploring Aboriginal art. To create this artwork, the artist meticulously selected vibrant colors to bring forth a dynamic visual experience. They incorporated layers of mixed media and Liquitex Soft Gel to enhance the overall aesthetic of the piece. The application of Liquitex Soft Gel served multiple purposes: it not only increased surface gloss, color depth, and transparency but also extended the color's reach without compromising the acrylic's stability. Moreover, it imparted an oil-like color to heavy body paint, enriching the texture and finish of the artwork.Immerse yourself in the timeless wisdom of Aboriginal art. I have created a stunning painting with vibrant colors. It has layers of acrylics mixed with Liquitex Soft Gel, which increases surface gloss, color depth, and transparency. Experience the timeless wisdom of Aboriginal art like never before! Behold my stunning painting, which boasts vibrant colors and multiple layers of high-quality acrylics expertly blended with Liquitex Soft Gel. This unique combination creates a mesmerizing surface gloss, unparalleled color depth, and brilliant transparency that will leave you in awe!
