About Thomas

Thomas is the brother to Walala Tjapaltjarri and Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri; both are painters of international acclaim. Thomas’ paintings are in a classical Tingari style usually reserved for body painting, ground painting, and the decoration of traditional artifacts.

In was in late 1984, Thomas and his brothers Walala and Warlimpirrnga and several other members of the Pintupi Tribe walked out of the remote wilderness of the Gibson Desert in Western Australia and made contact for the first time with European society. They came in because there were no eligible wives for them. Described as 'The Lost Tribe', he and his family created international headlines. Until that day in 1984, Thomas and his family lived the traditional and nomadic life of a hunter-gatherer society. Their intimate knowledge of the land, its flora and fauna and waterholes allowed them to survive, as their ancestors had for thousands of years.

During the Tjukurrpa (Creation Era) Tingari ancestors beings gathered at a series of sites for Malliera (Initiation) Ceremonies. They traveled vast stretches of the country, performing rituals at specific sites that in turn created the diverse natural features of the environment. The Tingari men were accompanied by novices and usually followed by Tingari Women. The creation stories and rituals are venerated in the song cycles and ceremonies of today, forming part of the teachings of the post-initiatory youths, whilst also providing explanations for contemporary customs.  

About the artwork

Thomas Tjapaltjarri uses a traditional and minimal style to represent aspects of the sacred Tingari Cycle, an epic journey of Ancestors of the TJukurrpa (Creation Era). He paints aspects of the Tingari Cycle, which are associated with the artist’s, many sacred sites. These locations are significant rockholes, sandhills, sacred mountains, and water soakages in the Gibson Desert.

Save your money......
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I had high hopes for this, but sadly, it fell short. I have to wear a CPAP mask at night & the dry mouth is just one of the things I hate about it. I saw this, read the reviews & decided to give it a try. I used it per the directions, but it really did nothing to alleviate the dry mouth. I'm giving it 2 stars because it doesn't taste bad, but that's the only good thing I can say about this.

Very Helpful with dry mouth due to Autoimmune illnesses
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have an illness that causes very dry mouth and nothing seems to work even a $65.00 prescription that was recommended. My hygienist suggested I try Salivea, so I got the spray. I can honestly say nothing has work quite like this. It's only been a few days but I also bought the toothpaste and mouthwash. I'm highly impressed so thank you Loretta for recommending
