Aboriginal Artwork

Hand-made reproduction of an australian aboriginal artwork - we painted it with acryl on cardboard 70 x 80 cm. Indigenous australian culture with its fascinating art and mythology is a great source of knowledge and inspirations.

Below we present one of the stories known among people of tribe Koori:

The myth about frog Tide-lek
One day Tide-lek got sick. High fever made her thirsty so she drunk all the water of the world. The springs, rivers and lakes dried up. When the frog realised danger she tried to return the water, but with no result. The animals decided to make Tide-lek laugh to save the situation but their efforts came to naught. Only when the eel No-yang stood upon his tail and started to dance, the frog burst out laughing and in the same time the streams of water spreaded around the world. Unfortunately many animals from lowlands sank during this flood.
