Mitre Peak, Milford Sound, New Zealand

An eye-catching, richly pigmented masterpiece that highlights Nicola’s exceptional technical skill while paying homage to the breathtaking landscape of her upbringing. Mitre Peak, Milford Sound—often hailed as New Zealand’s most spectacular natural attraction and the unofficial 8th Wonder of the World—rises majestically from the waters of Fiordland National Park. The 16-kilometre fjord is flanked by sheer rock faces that soar up to 1,200 metres, creating a dramatic and awe-inspiring vista.

This artwork exudes a sense of natural balance and tranquility, designed to evoke calm and serenity in the viewer. Look closely into the midground and you’ll discover a quiet detail: a rowboat resting gently on the land, adding a touch of narrative to the scene.

Framed, this piece would be even more striking—a timeless celebration of place, memory, and artistic mastery.

Crafted with high quality Langridge Professional Artists' Oil (handmade in Melbourne) on premium stretched deep edge cotton duck canvas. Finished with Windsor & Newton Gloss varnish for UV protection & longevity. A collectors authenticity certificate is included for valuation & insurance purposes.
