Barney Ellaga was a senior law man of the Alawa community in the Northern Territory. He has intimate knowledge of his traditional homelands, and it is his country and its ancestral stories that his work represents.

Ellaga mastered western art mediums to transform ancient cultural stories into contemporary masterpieces.

As a Jungai (cultural guardian) for several sacred sites, he possessed total authority over who could enter those lands, a responsibility reflected in his artworks.
