#13 Verdant Treasure

Created by FLOX

Sponsored by

FLOX’s sculpture for The Kiwi Art Trail 2024 is inspired by the lush, layered greenery of New Zealand’s native bush, where kiwi are often found. Featuring a range of green tones and native leaves, the work captures the essence of the Kiwi’s dense, thriving environment and natural habitat.

FLOX’s signature stencil technique plays a key role in building this intricate composition, reflecting her well-known aesthetic. In a symbolic touch, the kiwi’s legs and beak are painted gold, representing the precious and rare nature of New Zealand’s native species. Through this combination of vibrant greenery and gold accents, FLOX brings the natural beauty and significance of Aotearoa’s fauna to life.
