About Wiana
Wiana, titled after a word signifying 'The Mother', is a profound exploration of nature's maternal role, vibrantly echoing our intrinsic connections to our roots. This masterful composition commands a dual sense of tenderness and robustness, mirroring the dualism of motherhood itself.
Wiana symbolises the Earth, subtly alluding to its role as a universal mother, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all life forms. She is our foundation, grounding us in the present, reminding us of our past and shaping our future. Her embrace is represented in the intertwining roots that sprawl across the canvas, and the inextricable connection we all hold to our ancestry and heritage.
I was inspired to create Wiana (meaning 'Mother', from the Aboriginal languages in the geographic area which is now Sydney, Australia) from my experiences with its beautiful people, and my wonder at its history, nature, and wildlife.
