Deep Indigo | Tropical & Northern Leaves | Botanical Silhouettes
A striking combination of tropical and northern foliage fills this composition, with large, deeply cut monstera leaves surrounded by maple, oak, ginkgo, and delicate fern impressions. The contrast between the oversized tropical leaves and the smaller woodland foliage brings together two very different landscapes in a single artwork.
The rich midnight blue background allows the soft, icy blue silhouettes to stand out, revealing the distinctive shapes and intricate edges of each leaf. Tiny star-shaped botanical impressions are scattered throughout, adding a delicate sense of movement to the arrangement.
I created this piece with a more traditional approach to cyanotype, allowing the natural shapes of the leaves to become the focus. The hand-coated edges frame the composition, while the contrast between the bold tropical forms and delicate northern foliage creates a beautiful balance of simplicity and detail.
