Mina Mina Dreaming by Zak

Mina Mina Dreaming

The artwork Mina Mina dreaming is illustrated by Judy Watson Napangardi, born in 1925, in Yarungkanji at Mt Doreen Station, she was taught and inspired the art form of painting and techniques by her older sister Maggie Napangardi Watson.
The art work Mina Mina Dreaming by Judy Watson Napangardi, is quite a large painting with dimensions of 152x152cm. The painting is acrylic on canvas. She uses lines and circles. In my opinion she uses the space very well and very good color contrast, using the colors blue, orange, pink, red, purple and green.
She uses the canvas space very well, she spreads out her brush strokes and doesn’t overdo it in one space. This artwork is very unique because it uses a lot of different colour’s, also it has pattern of circles, lines and other useful shapes.
The main idea of the artwork “Mina Mina Dreaming” is that it’s important to the Napangardi/Napanangka women and Japangardi/Japanangka men, and is expressed the components of linen canvas, acrylic paints and many more useful accessories. The artwork has a horizontal line, meaning that this artwork is great inspiration for younger Indigenous kids to look up to.
