Retro Miami Art Deco style art

A new painting

Bold, colorful, ready for sun.

This is an 8 by 10 watercolor painting on Arches cold press paper. Made with warm, sunset hues. It feels like drinking a tropical drink while the sun kisses your skin.

... Read moreRetro Miami art is characterized by its bold and colorful aesthetics, heavily inspired by the iconic Art Deco designs of the early 20th century. Artists often harness the use of pastel colors, geometric patterns, and ornate details to create pieces that resonate with the vibrant culture and warm climate of Miami. The essence of Miami's Art Deco style can also be felt through its architecture, which encompasses a mix of modern and traditional designs, often adorned with striking color schemes. Artists like Kyle Donaldson draw inspiration from this rich heritage, creating watercolor paintings that embody the playful spirit of the city. If you’re interested in incorporating this unique style into your home decor, consider sourcing original pieces or prints from contemporary artists who celebrate Miami's artistic legacy. Additionally, exploring art galleries and local exhibitions can provide insight into the latest trends and techniques utilized by emerging talents in this vibrant art scene.
