Mātātoa - Original Carved Painting

Mātātoa - Original Carved Painting | Hikurangi Edwards

Hikurangi's signature technique involves intricately hand-carving traditional Māori imagery into layers of acrylic paint. This process creates stunning textured images in negative relief, where crisp white patterns stand boldly against a deep, dark background, accentuating every precise detail on its unique, vertical rectangular form.

"Mātātoa" embodies the powerful spirit of bravery, courage, and resilience. This artwork serves as a profound visual reminder of strength in the face of adversity, and the fearless spirit that drives us forward.

Within its flowing koru patterns, themes of enduring strength, unwavering resolve, and the interconnectedness that fortifies one's journey are vividly expressed, mirroring the essence of Mātātoa.
