Te Hopukina - Original Carved Painting

Te Hopukina  - Original Carved Painting | Hikurangi Edwards

Te Hopukina is a sophisticated and powerfully textural artwork by Hikurangi Edwards. This original piece celebrates Māori cultural motifs through an innovative carving and painting technique.

The work features an intricate, layered design of koru spirals (symbolising growth and new beginnings) and geometric patterns, beautifully carved or embossed into the surface.

The entire piece is finished in a serene, contemporary dusty blue-green tone, which highlights the depth of the carving and the rhythmic texture of the underlying material.

This is a unique, powerful taonga that transforms traditional patterning into a minimalist, tactile, and highly contemporary statement.

This is a powerful, contemporary artwork designed not just for the eye, but to be felt, bridging the spiritual past with the present.
