  • I was staring at banana trees when I started painting this and deciding on a colour palette.

Then the title just seemed so obvious and perfect.

Misiluki is Samoan for Lady Finger bananas.
Lady Fingers. Five digits on a hand and five is the number of sisters I paint over and over again.

This bunch of five sisters are all grown up.

My Time

Sold By: Nikki Mariner
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.

Daughters of the Waters

Sold By: 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.

Suli: Re-Storying Inheritance – COMING SOON

Sold By: Atamai
Highlights:

Contextual and Biblical Hermeneutics from Samoa and Moana-nui.  “E se’i le futi ae toto le suli.”  A doctoral thesis by latuivai Kioa Latu, published in 2025 by Piula Publications, Apia Samoa and Missionshilfe Verlag, Hamburg, Germany.

“SULI: Re-Storying Inheritance: Contextual and Biblical Hermeneutics from Samoa and Moana-nui takes on, with critical erudition and lamentation, the contagious combination of the Christian Bible, law, and politics in the interpretation and regulation of land issues in Samoa. Through a contextual, relational, and decolonial lens, Latu presents a provocative Suli hermeneutics to investigate biblical inheritance narratives and the role of Samoan Christianity in their reception, but also as a gesture towards reaffirming ‘ele’ele or land as the birthing center for understanding being and knowing in Pasifika. This is a call for a theological re-storying to safeguard land as inheritance, and a valuable Ala’imoana, ‘the way in and of the moana,’ for anyone who wants to learn Samoan theology.” Upolu Lumā Vaai, Professor of Theology and Ethics and Principal, Pacific Theological College, Suva, Fiji.
