Kiwi with the Golden Beak 3.0
Created by Ema Frost
This soft pink tone embodies a calm, feminine energy connected to the natural world. It is a tribute to Aotearoa New Zealand and a gentle reminder of our responsibility to nurture and protect our land — and the beautiful, flightless kiwi that call it home. The adornments of gold showcase the rarity and charm of these precious creatures.
Ema’s delicate artworks draw inspiration from mythical folklore and her overseas adventures. This sculpture serves as a reminder of the importance of kiwi conservation and our collective responsibility to protect these cherished native birds.
Meet Ema Frost
Ema Frost burst onto the Auckland art scene in 2010 and has been captivating her fans with her unique style ever since. Her bright colours give life to beautiful images, the inspiration of which comes from Ema’s fascination and deep respect for the mystery and magic found in Māori and Japanese folklore. The often delicate and always delightful characters she creates are the perfect marriage of these mythical cultures. Part of the charm of her work is in the little idiosyncrasies that can be found only upon closer inspection of her images. Look carefully and you’ll see little characters peeking out from unsuspecting places and the omniscient Tiki watermark that protects all life in the world of her imagination.
