Effectively capturing the beauty of a lotus lake, the Malea Wall Art’s calming blues have a deeply relaxing impact, wherever you hang it in view. To make each collage, trained artisans use layers of lotus leaves from China’s Weishan Lake, attaching them to paulownia wood canvases before applying layers of turquoise and teal paint. The final flourish – flecks of gold paint – is added before the surface is sealed to protect the fragile leaves.
