Yinarupa Nangala

Yinarupa Nangala, a Pintupi artist, hails from the ancestral lands near Kiwirrkurra, steeped in the legacy of Papunya Tula Artists. Born into the lineage of Anatjari Tjampitjinpa, her art resonates with the essence of classic Pintupi storytelling. Initially garnering modest recognition, her austere style matured over time, earning acclaim by the late 2000s, as the depth and artistic control of her style became well revered.

Drawing from her familial narratives, she paints the landscapes around Mukula and the accompanying women's ceremonies, imbuing her work with cultural significance. Symbolism abounds in her art, with 'U' shapes representing women and circles signifying kampararpa berries. Additionally, her depiction of tree-like shapes evokes the spear-making trees, a motif shared by her relatives in their art.
