When we paint---whether it is on our bodies for ceremony or on bark or on canvas for the market---we are not just painting for fun or profit. We are painting as we have always done to demonstrate our continuing link with our country and the rights and the responsibilities we have to it." --- Galarrwuy Yunupingu, a senior Arnhem Land bark painter. Adapted from The Original Australians---STORY OF THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE By Josephine Flood

The Original Australians
STORY OF THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE
By Josephine Flood

In my personal perspective, most of the original people in any kind of land are all having the same reason like he said. Doing the art is not just for the external superficial factors, but for most essential part of the spirits that are connected to their homeland. And the inspiration of the indigenous' arts are all come from the living environmental, like the scenery of the earth, the feeling of their heart and the form of their culture. Arts are changeable, because everything all start from heart, the feeling of people. Even though, not everything can be told by languages, but painting is one of the fabulous way to express what people had saw and had felt.

The image of the aboriginal people.
