Santana 01-09-2026 12:45pm: Hi, I’m wanting to request a fully Samoan-inspired piece designed specifically for a male. The main name I would like displayed prominently throughout the design is: SEUMANU FETOA’I FETOA’I I would like the overall piece to have a strong, masculine, proud Samoan feel, with traditional Samoan patterns and cultural elements being the main feature of the artwork. A few key things I would love incorporated: • SEUMANU FETOA’I FETOA’I — displayed prominently and clearly • A photo of him incorporated into the artwork — I can supply a photo • His favourite car, a 1964 Chevrolet Impala, featured as part of the design — I can also supply a photo of the car • Samoan colours incorporated throughout the main design • His favourite colour is blue, so I would love different blue tones worked throughout the piece while still keeping the overall Samoan aesthetic • Strong, traditional Samoan-inspired patterns, motifs and cultural elements throughout the main artwork. For on the stand, I would like to keep it for the children’s heritage, more subtle details so that the main piece remains predominantly Samoan. 1side of the stand-Left Cook Islands side • Incorporate the 15 Cook Islands stars • Possibly include 3 small Māori korus to represent 3 children (boy girl boy) Other side of the stand-Right Aboriginal side: • Include 3 small Aboriginal frog/toad motifs to represent his 3 daughters The Cook Islands and Aboriginal elements don’t need to be large or dominant — just meaningful little touches on the stand representing his children’s heritage. The overall vision is Samoan first and foremost, with his name, his portrait, his 1964 Impala and the traditional Samoan design being the hero elements, while the children’s heritage is represented subtly through the stand. I’m happy to provide the photos of him and the Impala for reference. 💙
