Tiffany’s—filtered through Miami’s architecture. 🌴✨

Created for Spectrum Art Fair during Miami Art Basel Week, Tiffany’s in Miami began with color studies of the Tiffany building in Miami and surrounding historic facades—their sun-struck pastels, oxidized metals, and ocean-reflected light.

From those studies, I built the work outward.

Multiple layouts.
Full surface carving.
Sculptural construction.

This 36”x 36” dimensional acrylic canvas moves beyond painting into relief: peonies and roses rise from a field of Tiffany blue, their forms carved, layered, and shaped by hand with a palette knife. The surface is engineered to catch and refract light—like glass, water, and storefront vitrines along the Miami streetscape.

The piece sits at the intersection of architecture, fashion, and florals—where ornament becomes structure and beauty becomes system.

Rooted in my mother’s garden, but translated through Miami’s visual language, this work carries both memory and modernity.

Not decorative—constructed.
Not nostalgic—recontextualized.

For collectors and curators, Tiffany’s in Miami functions as a spatial anchor—a work that reads at distance and reveals its complexity up close.
