Ocean Blues Design:
Billy's choice of colors—rich blues and complementary tones—creates a sense of movement, evoking the rhythm and flow of underwater life.
Killer Whale: A central figure in Haida culture, the Killer Whale symbolizes strength, family, and deep connection to the ocean. Billy's use of bold black lines and deep blue tones gives life to the fluid, graceful form of this mighty creature.
Sculpin: Representing resilience and adaptability, the Sculpin is beautifully detailed with vibrant shades of turquoise, teal, and dark blue, blending seamlessly into the natural red cedar background.
Each element of the paddle reflects the harmony between traditional Haida formline design and modern storytelling.
This paddle, hand-carved and painted by Billy Yovanovich, showcases his dedication to both artistry and functionality. The result is a stunning demonstration of his carving abilities, formline design, and creativity.
