Painting Description
Barrunbatayi (The Dreaming) is an original Aboriginal artwork that shares the timeless connection between people, Country, and spirit. In our culture, The Dreaming has no beginning and no end. It is alive in every moment, connecting us to the stories of our ancestors and the land.
This painting tells the story of creation and harmony with Country. The sun shines brightly in the centre, radiating strength and energy from the ancestors who guide us. The flowing patterns represent songlines—sacred pathways that map the land and tell the stories of how it came to be. Waterholes and gathering places show the importance of community and the knowledge shared between generations. The fish swimming in the cool blue waters remind us of abundance, balance, and the sustenance that Country provides.
Barrunbatayi is about honouring the connections between land, water, and sky and keeping the stories of our people alive. This painting is a celebration of culture, resilience, and the sacred bond we share with the world around us.
Choose options
You are highly recommended to measure your space prior to placing order. Below is a size guide for your information. All the product sizes are finish sizes. If you order a framed print, the size includes frame.
Fine Art Print on Canvas Or Paper
Museum quality giclee print, using latest Epson high end professional fine art reproduction printer and UltraChrome archival inks resulting in beautiful prints with rich and vivid colours. We use either 300 gsm premium canvas or 180 gsm matte archival art paper.
Shadow Box Floating Frame
Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.
Proudly hand framed in Melbourne.
We use 4.5 cm thick timber mouldings, made of sustainable hardwood.
To enhance the presentation, we utilize the gallery wrap technique, where approximately 1 cm of the canvas print is wrapped around the stretcher bars on each side, ensuring a seamless and polished finish.
A subtle 5 mm gap between the canvas and the frame creates a striking floating effect, giving the artwork a sense of depth and prominence.
The canvas is expertly stretched over a wooden stretcher bar and mounted within a shadow box floating frame.
Stretched Canvas
Proudly hand made in Melbourne.
Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.
We will remove any "white border" around the wall art, as the "white borders" are designed for framed artwork only.
Stretched and gallery or mirror wrapped around a 3cm wooden stretcher. No outside frames.
Framed Poster
Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.
Proudly hand framed in Melbourne.
We don't use traditional mat board. Some products come with "white border" effect, which is just unprinted area. We can custom make a print to add or remove the white border. You just need to leave an order note about it.
