Steve Hikaiti – Bold Expression of Māori Identity
Self-taught and fiercely original, Auckland-based artist Steve Hikaiti (Ngāti Porou) creates powerful works rooted in his personal journey and cultural heritage. Once on the margins of society, Steve has reconnected with his iwi and channels his story through striking prints and carvings. His limited edition series explores themes of identity and resilience with raw precision and emotional depth.
