Title: “iAHOLA!”

Description:

Embrace the spirit of aloha with “iAHOLA!,” a vibrant and spirited mixed media artwork by artist Riley Vandervest, created in 2021. This piece, measuring 16 inches by 12 inches with a depth of 0.5 inches, is presented on canvas, capturing the essence of a tropical paradise.

“iAHOLA!” is inspired by the welcoming and joyful greeting of “aloha,” featuring an abstract representation of a palm tree and a beach shore. The composition explodes with color, where bright oranges, yellows, and greens suggest the lushness of tropical foliage, while deep blues and whites evoke the serene yet dynamic nature of the ocean waves gently lapping against the shore. The palm tree, though abstract, is suggested through bold, sweeping strokes of green and black, standing tall against the vibrant backdrop.

Riley Vandervest’s use of mixed media adds a textured depth to the piece, with layers of paint creating a sense of the natural, tactile elements of a beach scene. The energy of the artwork is palpable, with the colors and brushwork conveying the warmth of the sun, the movement of the breeze through the palm fronds, and the rhythmic sound of the sea.
