Davinder Hart is a proud Indigenous artist
from Perth, Western Australia, with ancestral ties to the Bibbulmun and
Katanning mob in the southwest of the Noongar nation. Born in Perth, he spent
his early years in Adelaide, where he lived until he was 17.

In 2013, Davinder travelled to Uluru (Yulara)
to work as an Indigenous activities presenter at Ayers Rock Resort. There, he
shared his culture with international guests, presenting workshops on boomerang
and spear throwing, bush tucker tours, didgeridoo playing, and traditional
dance. During this time, he built strong connections with his colleagues, whom
he now regards as his brothers and cultural teachers.

Over the past decade, he has continued
learning from them, deepening his cultural knowledge and sharing it through his
artworks. In 2015, Davinder left the Northern Territory to continue learning
from his cultural teachers on Country in New South Wales. His artworks embody
the wisdom passed down by his cultural grandfather and uncles. Through
painting, he navigates the modern world, deeply influenced by traditional
Ngurrumpaa (Dreaming) stories and applying their important lessons in real time.

Throughout his artistic journey, Davinder has
traveled extensively, working in Far North Queensland and rural Victoria, where
he has continued to share his culture and art. These experiences have allowed
him to connect with diverse communities, deepen his understanding of Country,
and further develop his artistic expression.

Davinder’s artistic practice spans custom
commissions, art workshops, original paintings, fine art prints, live painting
events, digital illustrations, and book illustrations. He has collaborated with
businesses and organizations, including Hearing Australia, with whom he
co-created a children's book to highlight the importance of hearing health for
Indigenous children.

With over a decade of art experience,
Davinder has showcased his work in multiple well-established galleries across
Australia. In 2023, he was invited to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to attend the
United Nations World Tourism Day gala event, where he performed a live painting
during the celebration.

As a dedicated family man, Davinder is
committed to sharing his culture with the world while continuing to learn the
ways of his ancestors. He also strives to pass this knowledge on to future
generations, including his own children, ensuring the traditions and stories
remain alive. He pays his respects to his uncle, Waylon Boney, and his
grandfather, Paul Gordon, whose teachings continue to inspire his journey.
