Artwork Description

In Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory the Rainbow Serpent is associated with rituals of abundance and propagation in the natural world, and of fertility and well-being in human society. It has the power over life and death, bringing conception spirits to the water holes, but also punishing those who break traditional laws. Spirit of the Waterholes
For Aboriginal people of the desert, the Rainbow Serpent lives in the waterholes of their country, and travels between them, either under the ground or in the storm clouds when a rain storm is moving. His presence brings on the rains and if he is offended he can prevent the rains and cause drought or inundations that cause people to perish.

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.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.
