Size

This palm tree wall art is a modern poster print with a minimalist landscape abstraction of mountains and palm trees by the sea. It is a Mediterranean wall decor print created using collage and painting on canvas, drawing, illustration and decoupage techniques to depict beautiful Italian scenery and South of France coastal landscapes. This  minimalist landscape wall art print depicts bold, graphic shapes and gestural drawing in a neutral colour palette of high contrast black, white and earth tones.

The snow-capped French and Italian Alps mountains serve as a backdrop to this minimalist wall art with minimalist palm trees and graphic abstract buildings, evoking windy day by the sea. This abstract wall poster is part of a two piece landscape art series meant to bring modern travel art to your wall decor, and a dose of contemporary Mediterranean design to your office space, living room, bedroom or hallway art collection. 

Inspirations

My inspiration for this modern landscape diptych were landscapes seen from the sea along the Mediterranean coastlines on the French and Italian Rivieras, where the snowy Alps rise up majestically over the sea, and the shorelines are dotted with small and large towns, villas, train tunnels and suspended coastal roads.

In every season, these beautiful landscapes are dotted with tall swaying palm trees that vertically break up the horizontal juxtaposition of rolling mountain peaks and horizontal lines of shorelines of the seashores.

I wanted to create a modern, monochrome and minimalist abstraction of these Mediterranean landscapes, simplifying the scenery down to the most graphic and essential elements, creating a modern artistic wall art interpretation of the beauty and sublime scale of this Mediterranean region.

Creative Process

I created the original two piece canvas landscape art using canvas and paint for the background colour of the sky, sea, and the snowy mountains. On a separate art support, I hand painted the palm trees, bridge and graphic buidlings using black paint on large art paper.

I subsequently used a decoupage technique, creating cutouts of the black and white palm trees and layering shapes on top of each other to create the rectangular buildings, windows and bridge. I glued the graphic paper shapes onto the canvas, creating a layered mixed media collage. As a final step, I varnished the canvas artwork to enhance and preserve the colours, and photographed the final diptych before digitally transferring and editing the final artwork, enhancing the colours, contrasts and highlights to ensure a sharp, premium quality art print that is ready to hang.
