Experience the Colourful Visions of Ancient Australia
The Baruŋgam country, a canvas of ancient Australia, is a testament to the enduring spirit and rich cultural tapestry of its people. For thousands of years, the Darling Downs has been a cradle of life for the Wakka Wakka language speakers, a place where the red earth whispers stories of the past and the winds carry the legacy of the Barunggam, Keinjan, Giabal, and Jarowair clans. The Bigambal and Kambuwal to the west, and the Jagara to the east, have all shared this bountiful land, known for its lush grasslands that the Gooneburra, or 'fire blacks', would set ablaze in a practice that nurtured the soil and beckoned regrowth.
A vibrant homage to your grandmother's Baruŋgam country, captures the essence of this storied landscape. The use of acrylics mixed with Liquitex Soft Gel is a masterful choice, allowing you to layer colours with a depth that mirrors the complex history of the land. The gloss and transparency achieved through this medium give life to the painting, as if each stroke holds a piece of the soul of Baruŋgam country. The red sand dunes, the rugged outcrops, the verdant riverbanks, and the expansive blue skies are all rendered with a passion that speaks to a deep connection with the land.
This artwork is not just a visual feast; it is an educational journey that invites viewers to explore the rich heritage of the Baruŋgam and their neighbours. It serves as a bridge between generations, carrying the elders' wisdom and the youth's vitality. Through your art, you offer a glimpse into the heart of the Maranoa and Balonne regions, a chance to experience the colourful visions of ancient Australia. The painting is a tribute to the resilience and beauty of the Baruŋgam tribe and their kin, a reminder of the importance of preserving such vibrant cultures and histories for future generations to cherish and learn from.
