Visit our Australian souvenir shop in Balmain to view this beautiful Aboriginal artwork in person, or purchase it online.
A striking original Aboriginal artwork by Alyawarr artist Michelle Pula Holmes from the Artists of Ampilatwatja community in the Northern Territory. Titled My Country, the painting reflects the distinctive style of Ampilatwatja artists, known for their detailed brushwork and layered colour that represent the landscape and natural features of their homeland.
Michelle’s family still traditionally hunt and gather, and her love for the land, plants, flowers and trees inspires her paintings from season to season.
In 2013 Michelle won the 30th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award (NATSIAA) People’s Choice Award. At 76 x 76cm, this square format creates a balanced and versatile artwork that works beautifully in many spaces, whether displayed at home or in the office. It’s a beautiful piece of Australian Aboriginal art that brings colour, story and connection to your home or office.
Painted on linen and supplied unstretched, the artwork offers flexibility when framing to suit your home. As the painting has been created from multiple directions, it can be stretched and displayed in different orientations.
This original Aboriginal artwork is from the Artists of of Ampilatwatja
The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999, 325km north east of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in the Northern Territory. Ampilatwatja lies on Aherrenge country, the land of the Alyawarre people.
The work produced by the artists is unique and recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities. The paintings pay homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine. They depict the traditional knowledge of dreaming and country through the translation of waterholes and soaks, bush medicines, mountains and sand hills.
In keeping with the religious laws, the artists reveal only a small amount of knowledge to the uninitiated. The information that is held sacred to the artists is concealed from the public and layered underneath the common visual narrative, masked by the delicate layered dots of the painting.
The art centre helps keep culture strong and is proudly an Aboriginal owned and governed corporation which supports ethical practice in the creation and sale of indigenous art.
