About the artwork

This summer artwork oozes Mediterranean charm. The weathered wooden door, with its chipped paint and antique handles, tells a story of years of sun, wind and life. Above and around it winds an exuberant bougainvillea, in full bloom, with bright pink flowers playfully contrasting with the deep green foliage. The white wall behind it is weathered and imperfect - it is this very texture that gives the picture character and authenticity. The soft light from the sun emphasises the splash of colour without being overpowering, as if the moment was captured just after sunrise or just before siesta.

The colour combination is distinctly summery: fresh white, weathered beige and cream in the background, deep moss green in the leaves and bright magenta to crimson in the flowers. Small touches, such as the terracotta of the flower pot and the shadows on the wall, liven up the scene without becoming unsettling.

You would hang this work on the wall to evoke that holiday feeling daily - the feeling of leisure, sun on your skin and silence around you. It evokes nostalgia for balmy evenings, Mediterranean villages, or maybe even a place you once visited or still dream about. It is an invitation to stop and breathe for a moment, to find beauty in simplicity and decay.
