Here, he grew up around many incredibly significant Indigenous artists, such as Clifford Possum, Billy Stockman and Uta Uta Tjangala. They accompanied his artistic journey from a young age and taught him how to express his ancestral Dreaming Stories through art.  Yilpi Marks Atira was born in Ernabella as the daughter of well-known artists Tjulkiwa Atira-Atira and Nyukana Baker (dec) and was raised in the rich traditions of her Pitjantjatjara lineage. Damien & Yilpi’s artworks, resonating with the stories of their ancestral knowledge and inspired by the heritage of their Country, create a bridge between tradition and contemporary expression.
