Some of our Artists

Hariata Tangahoe

Since she first exhibited in the early 1980s, Tangahoe has been described as a naive painter, but these days she shrugs her shoulders and says she has never thought of her paintings in such terms.

I am a professional full time artist living in on the Sunshine coast. I work mainly in mixed media and love to create new and expressive compositions exploring all of God's creations

Josefina Diazgranados

If there exists a pictorial work that in one way or another could resemble the immaterial patrimony of the Northern Colombian Coast that represents in each brushstroke the grace, the color, and the feeling implicit in the meaning of loving a specific zone

Hariata Tangahoe

Since she first exhibited in the early 1980s, Tangahoe has been described as a naive painter, but these days she shrugs her shoulders and says she has never thought of her paintings in such terms. Intuitive is a better word to describe Tangahoe's art, although she does embody something of 'the naïve' who, according to Marcel Jean, "after reaching adulthood, retains intact the conviction that desire and reality are synonymous


TUPUNA

Ki te kitenga I ahau no oku tupuna
I tuku iho I tuku iho

(My visions come from my ancestors)


Practical living belongs in a universe which includes spirits and ancestors,
humans and the natural world all in one living cosmos, an ordered universe
that is interrelated and which has to be maintained through right relationships.'
A.C.Moore: Arts in the Religions of the South Pacific- Symbols of Life, 1995, pg. 68
