Daughters of the Waters

Author: Nikki Mariner
Highlights:

This print is from a series of three large paintings by Nikki Mariner, titled, ‘No Woman is an Island’.

☀️SISTERS OF THE SUN,
🌊DAUGHTERS OF THE WATERS,
🌳WOMEN OF THE WOODS
Representing Samoa at the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture in Hawaii in 2024, the theme of the exhibition was Regenerating Oceania.
From the artist: “I asked myself what are the defining elements of a tropical island?
And I came up with three:
•surrounded by ocean,
•lush green jungles and forests
• heat from the sun.
So I painted groups of women in these three themes – forest, ocean, sun.
Painting groups rather than an individual figure symbolizes the collectivism of Pacific cultures and acknowledges the tight social bonds as a superpower towards Regenerating Oceania.
Each piece uses colour, shapes, pattern, and texture to express the feeling of each element of a tropical island – life in Oceania.

Mango Fandango

Author: 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).
