Aboriginal acrylic dot paintings or dot art originates from sand paintings,
utilizing seeds, flowers, sand, stones, feathers and other natural materials
and are expressions of ritual symbolism land and Aboriginal Dreamtime

Paintings often relate to sites where mythical activity is has taken place and where
ancestral powers remain

Aboriginal paintings are often the story of creation, life, nature,
animals and of the tribe and a personal relationship with the land

Through modern acrylic on canvas dot paintings the Aboriginal people are able to
express their culture to the world and introduce to western society their Dreamtime.

Dreamtime refers to a period from the origin of the universe before the
beginning of living memory when the world took shape and all life began
a time when ancestral beings created the land, made the first people,
and taught the people how to live through laws passed down through generations

Aboriginal people trace their origins directly from the great
ancestral beings that created the land.

The Dreamtime can be seen as the beginning of Aboriginal creation

Aboriginals see themselves as part of nature and all things
in nature as part of them and express through this through their art.
