Ruru’s Sacred Perch - Gold & Light Series

"Ruru’s Sacred Perch"- Illuminating the Unknown with Quiet Power

This painting, part of the Gold & Light series, honours the New Zealand morepork (ruru), a bird steeped in Māori mythology as a symbol of wisdom, protection, and spiritual guidance. Perched against a moody, textured backdrop of muted bluey greys, soft golds, and earthy browns, the morepork exudes quiet strength and a watchful presence.

The golden accents illuminate the mystery of the ruru, symbolising enlightenment and the ability to guide through life’s uncertainties. Deep blues and earthy tones convey serenity, stability, and a connection to the unseen, evoking the bird’s association with night-time wisdom and healing energy.

In corporate spaces, "Morepork’s Night Wisdom" inspires focus and clarity, reminding viewers to trust their instincts and embrace calm during challenges. At home, it serves as a grounding force, creating a tranquil environment while celebrating the magic of nature and its connection to the spiritual realm.

This artwork radiates an aura of protection and transformation, making it a powerful addition to any setting. Whether in a workspace or personal sanctuary, the Morepork’s timeless energy invites introspection, spiritual growth, and the courage to navigate life’s mysteries with grace.

This mixed-media painting is 20 x 20 inches.
