The Story of Hine-tītama

This portrait began as a feeling I was curious to uncover. While I painted her she was a sacred mirror, reflecting back a quiet, strong, authentic quality.

Her face is from an imaginary realm. She is not modelled off a particular person but was inspired by images of my tipuna (ancestors) from 19th-century photos and from my own dreams.
