Mango Crush, oil on canvas, 150 x 120 x 4 cm
Mango Crush bursts onto the canvas like a tropical daydream gone wild. Inspired by the bold drama of bird of paradise flowers and the lush exuberance of hibiscus, this painting is a celebration of color, chaos, and unapologetic joy. Swirls of thick, expressive brushstrokes dance with electric oranges, hot pinks, and leafy greens, while playful splashes of paint create a sense of spontaneous movement, like confetti tossed into a breeze. The style blends vibrant realism with abstract energy, giving the viewer both recognizable blooms and a feeling of stepping into an otherworldly jungle. I wanted to capture that heady, sun-soaked feeling of summer abundance, the kind that tastes like mangoes, smells like blossoms, and feels like a party. Mango Crush is for anyone who craves a hit of dopamine, a jolt of color, or a little wild magic in their day. Due to it's size, ships rolled in a tube. This protects the artwork from damage in transit. Your local picture framers can re-stretch the painting to hang.
