Trent is a Larrakia man through his Father and is part of the large Cubillo family.
He was about 7 or 8 when he was taught by his father to paint in the traditional method, he was also influenced by other family members. As his skill level progressed and improved (from about the age or 10-12) he was taught how to carve and make cultural artefacts and tools: spears, boomerangs and other carvings like birds, turtles and stingrays. Some of Trent’s spears and other artefacts sit in the Governor General and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s offices.


Trent is continually painting art works on canvas, surfboards, carvings, footballs, records and Artefacts. He is also a spray paint artist and has been using this medium for the last seven years. He has been involved in Darwin street art for two years and has painted multiple murals at various schools and businesses in the Darwin and Palmerston area, including the largest at the Palmerston’s Recreation centre which spans 36 meters long by 12 meters high.
