Tāwhirimātea – Māori God of Weather | New Zealand Mythology Square Art Poster

Tāwhirimātea – The Power of the Storm

The wind rises. The thunder rolls. The heavens awaken.

Discover the extraordinary power of Tāwhirimātea, the Māori atua (deity) of winds and weather, in this dramatic square art print inspired by the legends of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Emerging from swirling storm clouds, Tāwhirimātea commands the elements as lightning illuminates the sky, powerful waves crash against the coastline and a brilliant rainbow breaks through the darkness.

Rich in colour, atmosphere and detail, this striking artwork celebrates the forces of nature and the enduring stories of Māori mythology.

The Legend of Tāwhirimātea

In Māori tradition, Tāwhirimātea is one of the children of Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother).

When his brothers separated their parents to bring light into the world, Tāwhirimātea opposed their actions. In his anger and sorrow, he unleashed mighty winds and storms upon the earth.

His power lives on in the winds, clouds, rain and storms that sweep across Aotearoa.
