Artwork Description

Cunnamulla Aboriginal Culture – Tribes
The Cunnamulla Aboriginal culture includes five different tribes that are made up of Kunja people, who are the traditional owners of the Cunnamulla area Kooma, Budjiti, Mardigan, and Kullilli people.
The Kunja Aboriginal people are the descendants of Killamunda (including her children Margaret Turner (Granny McKellar), Annie/Nannie Widgell and Jack Brennan), Flora Maranoa, Maria Major (including her children Jack Oliffe, Ron Wyman, Walter Wyman and Lily Lynett) and Jimmy Nyngan. Kunja Aboriginal elders will perform the welcome to country ceremony at the start of Cully Fest on the Warrego. This location was chosen due to its significance to the Aboriginal culture within Cunnamulla as well as being a place where all members of the community treasure and enjoy as part of outback culture and every day life.
The Kooma people are those Aboriginal people who are descended from one or more of the following people, Maggie of Bendena, Kitty of Bollon, Sarah of Fernlee, Mary Button of Murra Murra, Susan Mitchell, Annie Murray, Julia Powell, Lucy Sheridan.

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
This mixed media artwork on canvas is a profound expression of Indigenous creativity. It blends various materials and techniques to produce a piece rich in texture and depth. 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.
