Ātaahua - Māori Watercolour Kōtare Art Print | NZ Wall Art
  • Ātaahua - Māori Watercolour Kōtare Art Print | NZ Wall Art

Ātaahua - the Māori word for beautiful - brought to life in a graceful watercolour art print featuring a kōtare (New Zealand kingfisher) in mid-flight, delicately painting the word across a soft blush background.

A moment of movement, meaning and stillness all at once. The kōtare is a taonga species in Aotearoa - quick, vibrant and purposeful - the perfect messenger for this word.

Suits living areas, dining rooms and shared office spaces. Available as a canvas in black floating frame, with custom sizing and framing options. (Pictured: Size A1 Canvas in Black Floating Frame)
