Marrunga Yubaa (Meaning Sweet Rain) - Beyond The Clouds
Title of artwork: Marrunga Yubaa (Meaning Sweet Rain) - Beyond the Clouds
Collection: Sweet Rain Series
Year: 2022
The Sweet Rain series is designed to ignite imagination and celebrate life. It signifies a raindrop’s journey from the clouds to the earth and its importance to the land and our lives. The ancient, traditional Aboriginal symbol of rain is portrayed through my own contemporary artistic lens. I have designed the symbol to have a cup of delicately painted dots that surround just the bottom of each coloured stroke in a cascading effect. The colour of each drop applied in layers of fine art strokes, holds a special significance in my life story, as well as a visual memory of the beautiful Australian landscape through my eyes. The circular symbol, painted offset to the left of the canvas and formed by intricately painted dots, is representative in Aboriginal Culture of a Campsite; a special meeting place or place of rest.
Beyond the Clouds is inspired by the quote “Never Lose hope. The darkest clouds precede the loveliest rain!” ~ Avijeet DasIn
In creating this artwork, I chose to paint a reflection of my life, the life I have always fought for, the one I never gave up on, even when I thought I couldn’t go on any further.
The exploration of the colour blue and its vast array of shades, highlighted by fine strokes of metallic silver are explored on canvas. The tonal shades in pure magic of their own, create a calming movement in celebration of the beauty the rains brought to my country when it was desperately needed. Falling on country with such grace and restoring the Australian peoples faith that every cloud has a silver lining.
