Whangaroa Marlin

2026, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

I had to capture this striking local moment: a marlin just landed and on display at Whangaroa Fishing Harbour!

The Genie of Charlie Chaplin

2026, Acrylic on corflute, 120 x 120 cm

Artwork exhibited at the Turner Centre in Kerikeri February 2026.

The dialogue between black and white and vibrant colour lies at the heart of my paintings. For this creation, it honours cinematic heritage while joyfully embracing a vivid, hopeful future. Artworks inspired by the movie "The Kid".

Waitangi waka

2026, Acrylic on corflute, 50 x 70 cm

On the Whangaroa inlet, a Māori waka is being launched. A powerful chant filled the air, its rhythm uniting the many rowers as one.

The blues

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

Creatures from the deep blue ocean are beautiful: translucent, fluorescent, and... on the lookout for a new see-through friend?

Underwater dream

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

Born from two fleeting moments, the painting weaves color and connection: a manta ray inspired by children’s wonder at a market, and a diver shaped by a shared taste of the sea. Together, they drift through a vibrant underwater dream of human connection.

Amazonian jungle embrace

2025, Acrylic on canvas, Diptyque 50 x 140 cm

The Amazon jungle is bursting with life: a jaguar prowls, a sloth snoozes, macaws chatter, a howler monkey bellows, a tapir ambles by, a toucan squawks, an anteater sniffs, and butterflies dance among the trees.

But wait—what’s this playful young elephant doing in the rainforest?

I spent my youth in French Guiana, playing with the animals of the jungle. Even though I didn’t truly belong, I always felt welcomed. This painting brings back so many beautiful memories 

Top of Ohakiri

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

Reaching the summit of Ohakiri (Saint Paul's rock) rewards you with a breathtaking view of the Whangaroa Inlet.
The height is exhilarating, giving you a sense of freedom—almost as if you were soaring through the air like a bird.
Golden finches flit gracefully nearby, their vibrant plumage blending beautifully into the landscape.
You may also spot Mynas, a more assertive species known for competing with native birds for resources.

Tooth Malaysian Tigers

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

The relationship between humans and animals can be complicated—but sometimes, all it takes is a little courage. My dentist loved it immediately!

My bees

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

Bees are vital to our ecosystems, but bee populations around the world are declining at an alarming rate. Small-scale, local beekeeping may offer a path forward, yet even these efforts face serious challenges. Varroa mites are devastating hives everywhere, and the use of chemicals to control their population is not ideal for the environment and becomes ineffective over time.

I am a beekeeper, and I am perplexed.

Meteor shower

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

As a meteor shower streaks across the night sky, people gather to admire the spectacle. Yet a few remain tethered to their glowing screens, likely watching the event unfold through social media, missing the true beauty around them.

Kiwi Wiwi

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

This painting cuts through the unimaginable ways GMOs can affect our everyday lives, prompting us to reflect on what we find on the shelves of our local stores.

Surrounding a slice of kiwi fruit, rendered in stark black and white, strands of DNA float in space—one of them split, ready to be genetically modified.

At the center, a genetically altered kiwi slice radiates with psychedelic colors. Its vibrant hues depart strikingly from nature’s palette, and at its core, the fruit reveals the outline of France—as if intentionally designed through genetic engineering.

Through this striking visual, the French artist playfully expresses how deeply he has integrated into New Zealand culture—becoming a true Kiwi himself: both Kiwi and Wiwi (word for French in Te reo Maori).

Whangaroa Harbour – Pohutukawa Reaching Out to Sea

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50x 70 cm

This painting captures the enduring spirit and resilience of the Pohutukawa tree as it stretches toward the sea, defying the boundaries imposed by human development. The stark contrast between vibrant natural colours on either side of the composition is divided by the monochrome, constructed roadway—symbolising the unnatural separation between nature and urbanisation.

This visual tension is heightened by the looming threat posed to taller vehicles that must squeeze beneath the tree’s reaching limbs, underscoring the uneasy coexistence between nature and infrastructure. What might appear whimsical at first glance reveals a deeper commentary on the absurdity—and fragility—of this imbalance.

Taratara rising aspiration

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

This painting is meant to inspire reflection and a call to action — a vision for transforming the landscape through renewed human interconnection with nature.

The lower half of the artwork, in black and white, depicts a gravel road flanked by dense, invasive pampas grass, symbolizing environmental degradation and imbalance.

Above, the upper half bursts into colour with the sunrise over Mount Taratara, representing hope and the potential for awakening. It invites us to become more conscious of the damage below and to seek change — restoring harmony between people and the natural world.

Tauranga beach sand tapestries

2025, Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 70 cm

The painting is divided into two contrasting sides. On the left, the color side portrays a sand tapestry created by the retreating waves. Two gannets are seen fishing above Tauranga Bay, adding a sense of natural vitality. In contrast, the right side is rendered in black and white, showing a tractor pulling a boat, leaving behind large tire tracks that form a second, harsher tapestry on the sand. A hill in the background appears opaque, with smoke rising from the tractor.

Together, these opposing sides illustrate the duality between nature’s beauty and human intrusion—marked by pollution and disruption of the landscape.
