Kōwhaiwhai Panel Matariki

Kōwhaiwhai Panel Matariki  | Ra Gossage

Ra Gossage beautifully honours custom and celestial narrative in this exquisite hand-painted on wood panel artwork. 

The piece honours Matariki, the mother star that signifies reflection, connection, and wellbeing, reinterpreting traditional kōwhaiwhai motifs across a rich, vibrant red background.

Meticulously detailed and painted by hand, the rhythmic koru and interlocking geometric star patterns are rendered in a bold, contrasting charcoal black, creating a powerful optical depth that anchors the cosmic narrative.

This long, architectural statement piece establishes a striking cultural presence, bringing timeless Māori design and sophisticated craftsmanship to any modern space.
