Ahu Tahai Moai - Easter Island, South Pacific

About the artwork

This powerful photograph captures the lone moai on Ahu Tahai, standing sentinel on the rugged coast of Easter Island, its carved features gazing over the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The vivid blue sky and crashing waves in the background create a dramatic setting, emphasizing the mystery and isolation of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The statue’s restored coral eyes and red pukao (topknot) add striking detail and bring the figure to life.

Photographed on location using kite aerial photography, this image offers a rare perspective that highlights both the artistry and cultural significance of the Rapa Nui people. Easter Island is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth, and this photograph captures that sense of isolation and timelessness. It’s an evocative piece for anyone who appreciates ancient history, archaeology, or travel photography, making it a meaningful addition to any home or office collection.

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.

Metal – The photograph is infused directly into a sleek aluminum panel, creating a vibrant, high definition finish with incredible durability. These are waterproof, scratch resistant, and ready to hang with a modern, frameless look or set in a high quality float frame. Available with a glossy or matte finish.

Canvas – Printed on artist grade canvas and stretched over a solid wood frame, canvas prints offer a ready to hang, gallery style presentation. Canvas has a beautiful matte finish and looks best when paired with a float frame.

Paper – Produced on premium photo paper with a smooth, luster finish that enhances color and detail. Perfect for framing under glass.
