| | Description | |
| | Phil Mokaraka Berry has been producing Contemporary Maori Art for over 15 years.
He was the leader in the Kowhaiwhai restoration of Te Rongopai Marae. Rongopai is a highly significant wharenui from its association with Te Kooti and Te Whanau a Kai history.
The majority of his work consists of Maori myths and traditions based on well known stories and beliefs. He has produced a large series on Maui and his exploits and his final demise. Other works involve the connection between Papatuanuku and Maori and the sacredness of our whenua. He has also produced works on Kaitiaki, trying to capture the Mauri and the guardianship role of them and the relationship to their and our environments. His works are always evolving, sometimes simplifying, and sometimes complex, he uses the kowhaiwhai as a symbol of being and celebrating being Maori and also linking back towards our Whakapapa.
He also paints contemporary portraits and he produces commission works as well.
He is Toi Iho registered, the toi iho™ maori made mark is a registered trademark denoting authenticity and quality for Mâori arts and crafts.
