Mr Guild considers his nomination as a finalist an honour.
"The standard of the work at the show was extremely high and it's a huge privilege to win this award, and definitely one of the highlights of my career so far," he said.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people that voted for my art work, I feel truly blessed."
Mr Guild has lived in Martinborough for 10 years and said that since moving to the town he has been very involved in pursuing his art career.
The Spaghetti Open Can is one of many pieces of Kiwiana art that Mr Guild has created with his hyper realistic style of painting.
"It's very different to the rest of the art works chosen, but it is one of those subject matters that appeals to the masses," he said.
Mr Guild first realised his quirky art style in art school where he used his talents to paint more contemporary still life that strayed from the "typical vases of flowers" and has been working on his Kiwiana art series for a long time.
Kiwiana art captures the essence of iconic Kiwi nostalgia and encourages viewers to reminisce on classic New Zealand experiences such as childhood trips to get a Tip Top ice cream from the dairy.
"Every kiwi has eaten spaghetti at one point in their life and now it has been turned it into a piece of art."
His other art pieces include hyper realistic portrayals of L&P, Tui beer, Buzzy Bee, and Jaffas.
The prize for the Signature Piece Art Award was $3000 which Mr Guild says will be used to renovate his studio and upgrade his art transport vehicle.
