Kōwhaiwhai Panel Tupuānuku

Kōwhaiwhai Panel Tupuānuku | Ra Gossage

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

The piece honors Tupuānuku, the Matariki star associated with everything that grows within the soil, including food crops and native plants, reinterpreting traditional kōwhaiwhai motifs across a rich, luminous metallic gold background.

Meticulously detailed and painted by hand, the rhythmic koru and geometric diamond patterns feature an earthy yet vibrant palette of soft greens, warm oranges, and crisp cream, beautifully capturing the fertile vitality of the earth.

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