This artwork captures the nostalgic charm of the iconic Palms Motel in tropical Darwin, bathed in the warm, golden hues of a vibrant sunset. The scene is a dreamlike blend of soft pinks, peach and bright pink, evoking a sense of both serenity and exotic allure. The atmosphere feels timeless—a perfect intersection of nature’s beauty and human design, where the past lingers in the soft, sun-kissed light of evening. This piece invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and embrace the peaceful rhythm of a tropical dusk.
Artist Bio: Amber’s work draws inspiration from the natural and built environments, focusing on vibrant colors and simplified forms. Recently, her time living in Darwin, NT, has influenced her work, which explores the concept of "visual escapism" through depictions of the tropical landscape and historical architecture, all rendered in bright hues and a semi-naïve style.
A strong love for colour drives her creative process as well as an interest in architecture and mid century design.
