About My Mondo Trading

A Message From the Owner

"During my travels, I have been exposed to Indigenous art, native American art, Aboriginal art and learned to appreciate, understand, and love it – especially Indigenous, First Nations art and its artists from the Pacific Northwest Coast of Canada. For very selfish reasons, I have become a dealer, if only that I might see hundreds of beautiful and unique art pieces rather than just own a handful myself. My particular fondness is for Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations art, and gradually I have focused (but not limited) my business on bringing the very best of this artform to others who appreciate it as much as I do.

I am Canadian, but I was born in Europe. I have lived on Vancouver Island over 30 years now. During this time, I have met many Indigenous artists and master carvers, and I feel honoured to be able to call them my friends. I love to listen to, and learn from, their stories when meeting with them face-to-face. Each piece is unique, and each piece has its own meaning. Too many of these excellent artists remain hidden to the world at large, and I consider it a gift that I can give artwork a wider appreciation. We will not offer machine made pieces, all hand carved! No AI involved - No AI generated images or Videos, no AI generated artwork!!!"

Within the genre of "West Coast Native Art", there are many subtle differences and stylistic variations between nations like Coast Salish, Nuu-Chah-Nulth, Kwakwaka'wakw, Heiltsuk, Haida, Haisla, Tsimshian, Gitksan, Nisga'a, Tlingit and Tahltan. The artwork is rich in culture, legends, symbolism and storytelling, and each piece is a true treasure. My goal is to find homes for these very special pieces and to find people who appreciate and care for the talent of the artists".
