ABOUT THE SCULPTURE
Roberta’s focus when creating "Radiance" was to create an uplifting kiwi bursting in energy. To achieve this, she worked on the colour gradient of different shades of yellow as the main colour, with contrasting and dynamic movements of bold brushstrokes to add to the energy flow. Roberta hopes “Radiance” will brighten the day of everyone visiting the Kiwi Art Trail.
