ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES

 Art gallery of New South Wales

Art Gallery NSW 2019 - Concrete Playground

Which is, in your opinion, the most interesting piece of art and why?

The artwork that impressed me the most at the Art Gallery of New South Wales was Dibirdibi Country (2010) by Aboriginal artist Sally Gabori. I find it especially interesting because it isn’t just a painting — it’s a personal connection to her homeland. Gabori painted the landscapes of her island not to show them literally, but to express memories, identity and emotion. That gives the piece a depth that goes far beyond its bright colours.

What has drawn your attention the most?

What caught my attention the most was the energy of the painting. The bold colours and sweeping brushstrokes make the landscape feel alive, almost moving. Even without showing realistic shapes, the artwork gives you a strong sense of the sea, the wind and the land that meant so much to the artist. It’s amazing how something so abstract can communicate so much emotion.

What would you highlight from the Art Gallery?

What I would highlight from the Art Gallery of New South Wales is its incredible variety. You can find European, Asian, modern and Australian art, but what really stands out is the importance they give to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. It’s not treated as something separate or minor — it’s central to the whole museum experience. The gallery creates a meaningful mix between past and present, showing different cultures and stories side by side in a very respectful way.

Under the Sydney Sun

Under the Sydney Sun If I could visit any place first, I’d definitely choose Sydney. The city really impressed me, especially the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge .They both look so beautiful in pictures! I’ve also heard that Bondi Beach is a famous spot where people surf and relax, so I’d love to go there too.  I’ve never been to Australia, but one of my cousins went there last year, and she said Sydney is an amazing city with friendly people and great food. I’d really like to visit it in the future because it seems full of life and culture, and I think it would be an unforgettable experience.                MY PODCAST:   https://www.podomatic.com/media_library/get_media/17604064?dl=1
