Ahu Nau Nau Moai - Easter Island, South Pacific

About the artwork

This powerful aerial photograph showcases the iconic moai statues of Ahu Nau Nau standing tall along the white sands of Anakena Beach on Easter Island. The soft afternoon light highlights the weathered details of each statue, from their distinctive facial features to the red pukao topknots, while the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean creates a dramatic backdrop. The contrast between the warm tones of the volcanic stone and the cool colors of the ocean and sky makes the image visually striking and full of depth.

Anakena Beach holds deep cultural significance as the legendary landing site of the first settlers of Rapa Nui, making it one of the most historically important locations on the island.

Photographed using kite aerial photography, this image offers a rare perspective of one of Easter Island’s most remarkable ceremonial sites. Perfect for lovers of archaeology, travel, and Polynesian history, this piece brings the mystery and majesty of Easter Island into your home or office.

Choosing the Right Surface

Each print surface offers its own strengths:

• Metal for the most vivid, contemporary presentation, with glossy or matte finishes.
• Canvas for classic look and value in larger pieces, always matte.
• Paper for flexibility and accessibility in smaller sizes, with a matte/luster surface.
