Treat Your Eyes With Australia's Most Mesmerising Indigenous Art

Indigenous Australia is the oldest living culture on earth, so you can imagine the art it bears is as sacred as it is significant.

Stories from the Dreamtime are at the centre of existence for Aboriginal people, and through art, language, dance and music they are passed down through generations.

Dating back some 65, 000 years, perhaps even more, the Dreamtime was a holy world and the beginning of knowledge where the land, and Aboriginal people were created by their Ancestor Spirits.

Ahead, just a handful of the magical art from some of Australia's most talented Indigenous artists.

Margaret Boko

How wonderful is this work by Margaret Boko 😍 It puts a smile on my face every time I see it and hopefully a smile on yours too. I re-stretched the work today and also made a basic frame/timber surround for it which for a limited time is included with the work at no extra cost 😊 76x49cm | $669 | Free delivery | Free frame | Ready to hang | Available on our homepage (bio link) This is my family outstation at M'Bunghara. That's Glen Helen Station. This is my father's country, Glen Helen and Winparrku. That's his country. My father worked on Glen Helen for long time as a stockman, when I was little girl. See all the bullock there? He used to ride horse to muster up all the bullocky. I love going to visit Glen Helen. [Central] Land Council talked to us and to manager, and we got Native Title back. We always been there, or just down the road, so we always really had that country, anyway. But it was nice for them to recognise us.
