Inuit

Inuit art is a rich tradition of carving, sculpture and printmaking that has been practiced for centuries by the Inuit people of the Arctic. Inuit art is characterized by its use of natural materials like ivory, bone and stone, and its focus on animal themes. Their art reflects their close connection to the natural world and their spiritual beliefs. The carvings typically depict animals such as caribou, bears, birds and fish, all crucial to their survival and way of life. The use of simple, geometric forms and a sense of movement are common features of Inuit art.
