Geometric Abstraction: The art relies exclusively on basic geometric shapes: circles (representing the sun and moon), triangles (mountains, trees, and human figures), and squares (sacred enclosures or land).Minimalist Figures: Human and animal figures are simple, stick-like forms created from two triangles joined at the tip. Faces are not detailed, emphasizing community identity over individual features.Monochrome Palette: Traditionally, the only pigment used is white (made from a mix of rice flour and water with gum as a binder) on a contrasting dark, earthy background (red or brown ochre mud).Absence of Perspective: The paintings are two-dimensional and lack linear perspective or proportion, creating a flat, rhythmic pattern.Narrative Style: Each painting tells a story, acting as a visual narrative of the tribe's life, culture, and beliefs, often arranged in horizontal panels or a spiral format.
