Highlights:

Playing with poetry structure and paint using Samoan markings.

 

These small paintings about poetry are inspired by the huge paintings (pic 6) I created for the VIP Lounge at Faleolo International Airport.

 

The villanelle originated in Italian and Spanish folk songs and in the late nineteenth century, the French began to form the villanelle into a more fixed poetry structure of nineteenth lines: 5 lots of 3, and concluding with a set of 4 lines.

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.

Fa’asamoa by William Mauola

Highlights:

This print by William Mauola includes ceremonial items of Samoan culture displayed in a tanoa against the background of tatau patterns.

It includes a nifo oti, ulafala, to’oto’o, fue and an aute/a red hibiscus.

My Time

Highlights:

 

The image that comes to mind is a figure inside an hourglass with most of her body in the lower half and just a head and arm reaching through to the top half.

I decided on the most simplistic abstract form following the style of Matisse.

It seemed to make the image more universal.
Everyone knows the feeling of time running out but not giving up.

Pisupo Pacific

Highlights:

This print features a favourite food in Samoa: Corned Beef or Pisupo.

Like artists for centuries, I teach myself about painting by doing my own versions of the great masters and modern icons.

Personally, I’ve never been attracted to the artwork by American artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987), but corned beef cans gave me the perfect opportunity to explore his work. Step into the experience of studying the minutiae of mundane objects and products.
It was interesting and it gave me a new appreciation.

To’onai by Pele Loi

Highlights:

This print by Pele Loi depicts a traditional Sunday lunch including much loved Samoan food laid out on a plate of leaves against a background of tatau patterns.

Mango Fandango

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).
