Hi! I'm Pāku.
Welcome welcome! I am so happy to have you here. I am 23, based in Maastricht I am a visual artist working with bold yet intricate and precise motifs, abstract styles and rich colours.
I am a visual artist, working with different media, including murals, paintigs, digital canvas, clothing, designing tattoo motifs and as of late a limited edition BIC lighter design.
I have always done art in one form or another, but it really took over my life with the new year of 2024 when I finally managed to go sober after years of Cannabis addicition. The void left by weed was filled by art. I set out to create one piece of art for every day of that year. It was a year filled with its own set of wins and set-backs, but I managed to succeed and created over 390 works of art! Through this process I found my visual language and style and got to know myself in a new way.
I embraced the idea of becoming an artist once I realised I don't have to be good at 'still life' painting to be an legitimate artist. My work reflects the way I see the world and how I would like to see it. It's what comes most natural to me when I pick up a pen or brush and I hope others can sense the joy and fulfillment when they see my work. I want to connect to people by making things born out of balance, intuition, an appreciation for aesthetics and composition.
I create in flow, writing scripture in my own personal language, producing a variation of organic patterns and playing with shapes and colours to see what sparks joy. Some works contain significant personal meaning, others' purpose is purely aesthetic - but is there really a difference?
Live Art, Murals & Graphic Design
Alongside physical artworks and original apparel, I offer services like mural painting, live art, and graphic design. I work on everything from corporate spaces to live festivals and private commissions, both on location and digitally. I focus on murals, album covers, and product texturing/design where creative freedom is valued.
If you have an idea and would like to collaborate, I’m always happy to have a conversation - even if it’s outside the things listed above. I’m open to traveling for work and always excited about new opportunities, creative ventures, and meaningful connections. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have something in mind!
Commissions
Commissions are currently open.
(Murals, Paintings, Graphic Design, Tattoo Motifs)
I don’t necessaily handle commission requests in the order they are received, since creative energy is unpredictable, some commissions are handled quickly, others may take a little longer. Please allow a few days for a response to your commission request.
I want to ensure the best possible experience for both of us, so I reserve the right to accept or decline any commissions.
To get started, I would love to hear about your expectations and what you have in mind. We can use my past pieces for examples and go from there. Once we align on the desired style, I’ll take the lead creatively to bring the piece to life. After we finalize the project details, I’ll share a quote. To move forward, a 30% deposit is required; the remaining balance will be due upon completion.
The piece will be shipped out to you fully insured, with signature required.
