This painting evokes a sense of serene escape with its minimalist interpretation of a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard. The composition is pared down to its essentials: a crystal-clear pool, curved doorways and the elegant silhouette of slender palm trees, their fronds gently swaying in the soft breeze. . Above, a pink sun hangs low on the horizon, casting a gentle glow that suffuses the space with a dreamlike warmth. The geometric purity of the courtyard—combined with the natural beauty of the palms and the tranquil water—creates a harmonious balance, evoking feelings of quiet luxury and timeless elegance. This painting transports the viewer to a peaceful, sun-drenched haven, inviting them to linger in the stillness of a perfect Mediterranean moment.
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.
