Floating Frond

 Inspired by the enchanting beauty of tropical landscapes and the mesmerizing allure of the ocean, this art piece brings forth a unique blend of natural elements and artistic expression. At the center of the composition stands a 3D palm leaf, painted and adorned with a collage of shells that have been embellished with iridescent paint and glitter. As the viewer moves around the piece, the shells shimmer and shift in hues, mimicking the ever-changing reflections of sunlight dancing on the ocean's surface. Beneath the floating palm leaf, a resin ocean comes to life. The translucent medium captures the essence of water, with its glossy surface and the illusion of depth. Swirls of blue and turquoise mimic the ebb and flow of the ocean's currents, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in its serene beauty.
Through this artwork, I aim to transport the viewer to a tranquil oasis, where the gentle rustle of palm leaves and the soothing whispers of the ocean inspire a sense of calm and serenity. I hope to evoke a deep connection to nature and the profound beauty it holds, encouraging contemplation and reflection.16" x 20¨ x 1.5¨
