Fabian Kaa

Fabian Kaa is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist whose innovative work seamlessly blends elements of painting, sculpture, and installation to explore themes of identity, migration, and the interplay between urban and natural environments. Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, Kaa draws heavily on his Māori heritage, infusing his pieces with symbolism and narratives that honor ancestral traditions while addressing present-day societal shifts. Kaa’s artistic journey began with formal studies in fine arts at Massey University, fostering an experimental approach that saw his early exhibitions embrace nontraditional materials and participatory components.

His thought-provoking installations and bold visual language have garnered attention in both national and international platforms, leading to exhibitions in galleries across Australasia and Europe. With a practice anchored in community engagement, Fabian Kaa often collaborates with other artists, educational institutions, and indigenous groups, amplifying stories that connect past and future, local and global. As his body of work continues to evolve, Kaa remains committed to challenging conventions and creating immersive experiences that invite reflection and dialogue about belonging, history, and the future.
