Mango Fandango

Listed By: Nikki Mariner
Highlights:

INSPIRATION
Mangoes are always special.
Fancy. Soft. Sweet. Round.
Celebratory and luxurious.

So this is what I infused in the figures, tones, and shapes.
It feels warm and sweet and happy.

I learned so much about mangoes doing this painting.
Eg.
🥭The paisley pattern on bandanas originates from mangoes.
🥭The leaves from a mango tree are believed to repel negative energy and attract prosperity and fertility in India where the mango is believed to originate.

ARTWORK
The starting point was the heads of the women, which followed an exact formation of mangoes hanging on a tree. Everything went from this point.

I used the colours of mangoes: orange, yellow, red, green, coral, purple. Tropical, sweet and glowy.

I used the curvy shapes of oval mangoes, long pointy leaves, and delicate long red stems laden with pale yellow tiny mango flowers.

Metallic colours of gold and copper added luxe and celebration.

This is the story of Mango Fandango.
(I used fandango in the sense of fun, party and dance).

Cinquain

Highlights:

 

Playing with poem structure, paint, and Samoan markings.

Small paintings inspired by the 7 metre by 2 metre works (pic 6) I created for the VIP Terminal Lounge at Faleolo International Airport.

The cinquain poem was invented by an American poet, and she drew inspiration from Japanese forms such as haiku and tanka, which are arranged in five lines. The cinquain has a syllable count of 2- 4 – 6 – 8 – 2.
