NDINA Gallery is dedicated to championing the work of established contemporary painters navigating the truth of post-colonial cultural resurgence in Oceania.

“NDINA” is derived from the phonetic pronunciation of dina — a word that translates as truth, or to speak the truth, in the indigenous iTaukei language of Fiji. Most emphatically used in traditional context, this term is uttered in unison by the gathered collective to close or seal formal presentations, reinforcing the shared truth of what has been offered.

Mason’s work, celebrated across the Pacific region and Europe, offers the viewer a journey through the rich symbolic imagination of one of Fiji’s most daring and distinctive visual artists.

Anare Somumu

Anare Somumu

The first Pacific artist to be awarded the title of Arirang Master, honoring outstanding practitioners of intangible cultural heritage, Somumu’s deft skill in figurative styles communicates the complex and at times agonizing relationship between modernity and traditional Fijian culture.

From his early period interpretations of cave petroglyphs to a prolific body of written artistic commentary, Josaia’s triune creative philosophy is founded on embodied reverence for Culture, Religion and Esoteric Spirituality.
