With this piece, I wanted to capture the opulent, tropical grandeur and sun-drenched coastal extravagance of Palm Beach’s most famous estate.
The composition is saturated in an intense monochromatic field of vivid emerald green and electric lime yellow, illuminated across a central diagonal sweep that glows like sunlight hitting lush palm grounds. Thick, impasto brushstrokes and sweeping tool marks scrape across the surface, creating a plush, textured rhythm of tropical foliage and manicured lawns that draw the viewer straight into the sun-bathed sanctuary.
Working in oil on paper, the absorbent texture grounds the heavy paint layers while allowing the rough, energetic tool marks to stand out with raw intensity. Mar a Lago is about that vibrant fusion of coastal luxury, gilded warmth, and unyielding tropical presence.
