“Taulagi’s Sky” is a one-of-a-kind 16x20 original acrylic painting by Samoan artist Tanya Masaniai. A visual love letter to memory, music, and the skies that hold what we cannot say aloud.
Taulagi’s Sky is an original 16" x 20" acrylic painting on canvas board by Samoan artist Tanya Masaniai. This soulful piece explores the quiet power of memory, sound, and grief woven into the vastness of the sky.
In Samoan, taulagi can mean a melody, a personal song, or a remembered chant. In this piece, the sky becomes a canvas for what lives beyond words, a song held in silence, a loved one’s presence echoed in stars, clouds, and light.
Soft celestial tones blend with deep emotional texture as the painting invites viewers to reflect on who or what they look for in the sky. Whether it's the memory of someone lost, the comfort of a personal prayer, or the quiet ache of love that lingers, “Taulagi’s Sky” gives space to it all.
It is both a memorial and a blessing, open-ended, atmospheric, and deeply human.
