Peter Minygululu was born in 1942. He received no formal education but became an initiate after a series of rites of passage in which he was gradually taught the secret and sacred myths of his tribe, as well as the law and discipline that would govern his future life. Minygululu lived most of his youth on the shores of the Arafura swamps near Ramingining, among traditional artists such as his grandfather, the famous bark painter Nhulmarmar, and his father-in-law, George Milpurrurru, who is now equally famous. Peter is not a prolific artist, and mainly paints bark for special ceremonies.
