Bark painting is an art form that involves creating images on the bark of trees, commonly practiced by Indigenous Australian artists. The bark is carefully stripped from trees like the stringybark or paperbark, and artists use natural pigments made from minerals and plants to create their designs. These paintings often depict stories, cultural symbols, and connections to the land. This traditional practice has been passed down through generations and is an important part of Aboriginal culture. Bark paintings are not only artistic expressions but also serve as a means of preserving history and sharing knowledge about the environment and spiritual beliefs.
