Tiki - Original Painting.

I have painted this Painting using acrylic Inks and acrylic Paints. It started off featuring the Tiki and gradually developed capturing the patterns built by the Inks. to become what you see. 40cm x 50cm (16" x 20")

Definition for Tiki: In the Maori legend it is believed, that Tiki was the first man and that he came from the stars. Tiki is a powerful good-luck symbol from ancient times. It is considered a symbol of fertility, representing the unborn human embryo. The tilted head is thinking, the hand represents strength, the mouth represents communication, the heart is love and the loins are fertility. The owner of the Tiki is assumed to be clear-thinking, perceptive, loyal and knowledgeable. Their strength is their character. Tiki signifies abundance, plenty, and good health.
