Artist's Description

Piata is a celebration of mixed heritage, identity and the beauty of belonging to more than one culture. Inspired by her Māori and Dutch roots, this contemporary illustration brings together traditional Māori elements and delicate botanical details in a thoughtful expression of who she is.

Draped in a traditional kākahu (cloak), Piata carries a sense of pride and connection to her Māori heritage. Her hair is adorned with hand-painted native kōwhai and blue maikaika flowers, alongside a treasured huia feather and pounamu earring.

Piata shares a special connection with her younger brother Mārahau, her paired companion print, and younger sister Poto. All three wear the same tāniko-inspired pattern on their attire, a beautiful visual thread connecting the siblings through heritage, whakapapa and belonging.

Together, these artworks celebrate the richness of mixed heritage and the bonds of whānau - a reminder that identity can be a beautiful combination of cultures, traditions and shared
