A toucan on a pink branch amid overlapping monstera, calathea and palm in saturated greens, with hibiscus and abstract blossoms filling the negative space.
Why this work
A contemporary update of Henri Rousseau’s imagined jungles — the same flat, decorative exuberance, the same dream of a paradise never quite visited. A natural companion to "Tropical Sun with Hands."
