Yalpirakinu is Adrian's mother's country. Adrian’s mother is the late Eunice Napangardi, a well known painter herself. His artworks

consistently refer to the desert mountains, ridges and trees which are part of Yalpirakinu. Using a restricted colour palette, Adrian's

brushwork is loaded with energy, drama and memories. In this painting Adrian has drawn from his memory to portray his family in

Yalpirakinu.
