A Guide to Tropical Art

tropical art evokes an exotic, paradisiacal atmosphere. The most famous example is Henri Rousseau’s jungle paintings, although the artist never saw a rainforest in person and relied on children’s book drawings, Paris botanical gardens and tableaux of taxidermy wild creatures.

Complement a minimalist space with framed tropical artwork featuring swaying palm fronds and kaleidoscopic sunsets. For a pop of color, hang a decorative pineapple painting.

Canvas Prints

Create a lush, tropical display in your home with canvas prints. Our swaying palm trees and vivid blooms make great wall accents and add an exotic touch to any room. Choose from triptych sets, metal wall art and wooden wall panels to get the look you want.

Unlike paper prints, which are simple and can work well with many frames, canvas prints have a unique artistic feel. They’re also easy to clean and provide a water-resistant base that defends against dirt and UV rays.

Our fade-resistant inks help your custom canvas print last. To extend the life of your artwork, keep it out of direct sunlight and away from moisture.

You can even create a display of your favorite quote or text instead of a photo. These personalized options come in several sizes to suit any space. You can also select a border option for your print, completing its edges with an image blur wrap or a black or white finish.

Our collection of framed tropical wall art features breathtaking scenery and exotic animals. Bring the rainforest into your home with a framed wall accent featuring swaying palms and exotic birds. Or, hang a framed art piece depicting colorful toucans and parrots embracing — an iconic image for tropical decor that reminds you of your favorite vacation spots.

Paintings

Hulda Guzman’s paintings are inspired by the tropical landscapes around her home in Samana, a coastal town in the Dominican Republic. The natural beauty of the region is an endless muse for her kaleidoscopic color palettes, but she also incorporates fantastical narratives and spatial tricks into her scenes.

Like Rousseau’s monkey-laden peppercorn trees and oversized water lilies, her work is rooted in direct observation yet always offers more than what meets the eye. Guzman’s work is a testament to the spirituality and enchantment of her homeland.

A warm and humid climate encourages several types of deterioration in museum objects, including physical damage from humidity and chemical decay of RH-responsive materials such as size, gesso and binders in which pigments are mixed. This deterioration can result in flaking of paint and subsequent paint loss.
