I am immensely grateful for the efforts and support extended by the wonderful team at Spark Arena and the invaluable technical assistance provided by @sweats___. Together, we embarked on the creation of my latest backstage mural at Spark Arena, an artistic endeavour that celebrates the rich tapestry of New Zealand’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
This mural features the graceful presence of a perched Kākā and the majestic flight of a Kōkako, both seamlessly integrated into a vibrant garden of indigenous flora. Among the intricately depicted elements are the delicate Kōtukutuku and the ethereal Mountain Daisies, each carefully chosen to represent the unique biodiversity and botanical wonders of our beloved homeland.
Through this mural, I sought to capture the essence of New Zealand’s diverse ecosystems and showcase the interconnectedness between its native fauna and flora. The choice of the Kākā and Kōkako, emblematic birds of our nation, symbolises the resilience and beauty that define our natural landscapes.
