Title
Meke Ni Yaqona III
Artist
Maria Rova
Medium
Painting - Acrylics On Traditional Fijian Barkcloth
Description
This painting is one of a series inspired by watching my husband's rugby team practice traditional Fijian dances in our yard! 'Meke Ni Yaqona� is a lively tribal dance performed by young men during welcome ceremonies in Fiji. Wearing grass skirts and leaves, the men leap, stamp, and turn in unison to the rhythm of traditional chants, as a ceremonial drink is prepared from yaqona roots. The energetic movements and exuberant spirit of this dance are portrayed using the earth tones of traditional Fijian �masi kesa� art.
I create Limited Edition Originals (hand-painted onto authentic barkcloth or silk) of many of my paintings. Contact me by using the artist e-mail link on this page to place your order directly.

Maria, Love this bark cloth... would that be available to use for the project we discussed? What kind of paint are you using? Maybe rethink what materials we would need?

Thanks for your comment - yes, our traditional Fijian barkcloth (hand-made by the women in my mother-in-law's village) is wonderful stuff to paint on!
