Aboriginal art for sale at Bits of Australia.

This stunning artwork in shades of blue is by Marjorie Nampijinpa Brown from Yuendumu in Central Australia.

Her powerful and colourful paintings are painted in acrylic on canvas, depicting the traditional stories of her country.

This painting is based on the Dreaming -Ngapa Jukurrpa (Water Dreaming) - Puyurru. The story of this Dreaming is detailed on the Certificate of Authenticity that comes with the painting.

Jukurrpa is translated as ‘Dreaming’ or ‘Dreamtime’ and exists in Aboriginal desert law as the creation period. During the Jukurrpa, ancestral beings in both human and animal form moved across the desert singing, marrying and fighting – or tricking and helping one another. As they travelled, they created the features of the land, its waters, plants and animals, and people, languages and ceremonies. They also established the moral, practical and spiritual laws that still govern Aboriginal societies. 

The original painting will be a beautiful addition to your wall at home or in your office as an Australian souvenir or gift.
