Growth Painting
Growth Painting
The painting is a large piece of medium weight canvas, using 3 large contemporary patterns to represent ritorito (the protection of the parents – two outer koru, to the sibling – middle koru). The inspiration was to create a sense of security and growth and to enforce this i included the whakatauki (Maori Proverb), Whaia e koe ki te iti Kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe, me maunga teitei, this means in this instance, follow your dreams and aspirations in your life, you will always encounter obstacles, but you will not give up, even if its to a lofty mountain. The texture of this piece is quite grungy with browns, reds and pinks here and there. Gold writing in acrylic.
