Collection: Paora Tiatoa

Nga Puhi & Ngāti Raukawa

Paora Tiatoa's work is the expression of his exploration of his Māori culture & history. The design influences within Tiatoa's prints are stimulated by a fusion of stories, experiences & tohu (signs). Paora's artwork is created through the medium of Screen Printing, Inkjet Printing & Free-Hand Drawings.

Paora Tiatoa admits that for many years he held himself distant from the Māori Heritage due to a dysfunctional upbringing. After participating in Kōkiri Pūtahi, Paora began the wholehearted transformation of embracing & investigating Māori art traditions & practices. 

Paora Tiatoa's artwork is honest & vulnerable. Through making artworks, Paora has been able to situate himself & his whānau (family) narrative within a wider context.

We are proud to support, Paora Tiatoa!
