Angelo Munkara

Munkara’s carvings reflect a deep connection to the land, sea, and animal life of the Tiwi Islands. His choice of ironwood not only honours local materials but also showcases the strength and permanence of cultural knowledge embedded in each piece. With its striking form and expressive personality, this sculpture is both a celebration of Tiwi identity and a testament to the enduring artistry of Arnhem Land’s northern communities.

Angelo Munkara is known for his skilful blend of tradition and individuality, creating works that are uniquely grounded in place yet appealing to collectors worldwide. Each beautiful bird is unique with their own character and reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Tiwi Islands.
