FAaITH art Gallery in Cairns

In my adventure in Cairns I had the opportunity of meeting Allan and share some nice moments whit him.

He was born in Thursday Island and now he lives in Cairns, where he owns an art gallery near the centre of the city, in the Pier Shopping Center.

In his gallery Allan has different paints and art crafts that he made by himself. his art represents animals of the Thursday Islands and australian animals, as snakes, kangaroos, turtles, platypus with the colours of his land, such as warm colours and blue or red like the shades of the sun or the sunset/sunrise time.

A common though that the islanders and the aborigines has is the strong connection they have and feel with nature and mother earth; from this connection is born aboriginal arts and the passion that drives indigenous people in their artistic creations.

Allan tries to pass some of the indigenous belief and feelings through his art and his gallery and he's willing to help the aboriginal community of Yarrabah, just near Cairns, trying to involve them in a video project to post in his Facebook page: 

I'd like to say big thank to Allan, because of his positivity and vitality that he kept along of all his life and always transmits to other people.
