Tiki

Watercolor on paper. Tiki statue from the museum in New Zealand. I did this painting during my visit to the Māori history museum. In Māori mythology, Tiki is the first man. Wooden carvings similar to tikis are found in most Polynesian cultures. They often serve to mark the boundaries of sacred or significant sites.

Belongs to a series of unique sketches from the artist's sketchbook dated 2020.
