Hawaiian Maui Demigod Canvas Wall Art

Māui holds his magical hook Manaiakalani aloft, the long crescent line of the islands rising behind him.

The Scene

Māui is shown in this canvas with his magical hook Manaiakalani held aloft, the long crescent line of the islands rising behind him. The composition centers on the relationship between the hero and the land he is said to have pulled into the world.

Manaiakalani — the chief's fishline — is also the name of a constellation in the Hawaiian night sky. The same demigod who hauled up the islands is, in another sense, written into the stars above them. Few myths braid earth and sky so cleanly.

Where It Hangs

This piece works beautifully above a desk, in a kid's room with a sea theme, or as the wall art in a Maui rental that wants real story behind its décor. A solid gift for travelers heading to the island that bears his name.
