About this Collection

Matariki art prints
for remembrance and renewal

Matariki is the Maori name for the star cluster also known as Pleiades, and its rise in the dawn sky marks the beginning of the Maori New Year. It is a time to remember those who have passed, to give thanks for the harvest, and to look ahead with hope for the year to come.

This collection translates that meaning into contemporary Matariki wall art - bold, atmospheric prints that bring the spirit of the season into the home throughout the year, not just during the Matariki public holiday. Each piece is designed in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand and printed to order on archival fine art materials.

Available unframed, glass framed ready to hang, or as a floating canvas. Matariki prints make a meaningful gift for whanau, friends, or anyone who values art with genuine cultural depth.

Matariki art print FAQs

What does Matariki mean?
