Artist Statement
Ululau Ama
Ululau communicates about Samoa through drawings and always looks forward for every art class at Māpura Studios.
He feels comfortable in class and speaks in Samoan to most teachers.
Positive feedback has encouraged Ululau to do his best.
This motivated Ululau to concentrate, do good work and work with confidence, using the techniques he has been taught by his tutors.
At first, Ululau and his Mother played a game to see who printed the most, who did well, with no mistakes and created the best prints.
Ululau’s first woodcuts were about Samoan Myths.
He is very proud of his work in a very quiet manner.
