Tropical Sunshine 36" x 48"

See more paintings from The Colors of Joy collection. Tropical Sunshine is a radiant burst of color and energy, emblematic of Nowak’s ability to capture the feeling of light and joy in abstraction. The work thrives on its interplay of vibrant hues and sweeping brushstrokes, immersing the viewer in a dance of motion and warmth that echoes the title’s promise of brightness and vitality. The painting is dominated by bold, gestural brushstrokes that feel spontaneous yet deliberate. Thick strokes of turquoise, crimson, yellow, and violet swirl together in dynamic harmony. The lack of rigid structure gives the piece an atmospheric, almost musical rhythm—one that seems to pulse and shift depending on where the eye lands. The layered technique—placing cooler tones like aquamarine and cobalt against fiery reds and yellows—creates depth without traditional perspective. This contrast mimics the sensation of light filtering through tropical foliage, where brightness and shadow interlace fluidly.
