Tauawhi - Original Carved Painting

Tauawhi  - 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 bold black patterns command attention against a crisp white background, accentuating every precise detail on its unique, vertical rectangular form.

"Tauawhi" embodies the powerful essence of embracing, cherishing, and holding dear. This artwork beautifully conveys the strength of connection and the profound bond of what we hold precious.

Within its striking, stacked koru patterns, themes of interlocking support, protection, and the deep affection of an embrace are vividly expressed. The bold black and white contrast highlights the clarity and enduring nature of these sentiments.
