šŸŒ«ļø A Different Side of the Tropics

Woman in white holds three artworks with abstract leaf designs in a sunny wheat field. Blue sky contrasts with the golden grass.

This triptych became my reflection on what tropical nature can feel like. The obvious answer would probably be: lush greenery, bright sunlight, bold contrasts, and vibrant colors šŸŒæā˜€ļø

But what if the tropics are not always like that? What if it’s raining, wrapped in early morning fog, or covered by soft evening shadows? Then the atmosphere changes completely. The tropics become mysterious, quiet, almost impossible to fully grasp. Soft, calm, and comforting in their own way.


Collage creation process with painted patterns, lace, scissors on a table; framed artworks on a beige wall; earthy tones dominate.

That’s why I chose a more natural and muted palette for this triptych: gentle ochre-brown tones combined with elegant shades of grey. Even the title, Ā«Calm TropicsĀ», reflects this peaceful state and mood.


Collage of modern interiors featuring cozy living areas and bedrooms with framed artwork on walls. Neutral tones create a calm ambiance.

I really enjoy exploring different emotional states of nature and translating them into my artworks. And finally, seeing the artworks placed into interiors always feels like the last step of the story, when the pieces truly begin to live within a space!
