Bark paintings are a traditional form of art created by Indigenous Australians, particularly by the Aboriginal people. These artworks are made on pieces of tree bark, using natural pigments derived from minerals, plants, and charcoal. The paintings often depict stories, cultural beliefs, and the connection to the land, showcasing the rich heritage of the artists. The process of creating bark paintings involves carefully stripping the bark from trees, which is then dried and prepared for painting. This art form has gained recognition both locally and internationally, contributing to the preservation of Indigenous culture and providing a means for artists to share their stories with a wider audience.
