About the Piece

In Folliaje (2021), Hayley Stewart departs from her alpine subjects to explore the lush vitality of tropical foliage. Using a dynamic blend of acrylic and spray paint on canvas, she distills sweeping banana leaves into bold, simplified forms and velvety gradients. Saturated greens and layered shadows create a sense of depth and humidity, while her expressive contours lend the piece an almost dreamlike energy. The result is a vibrant, contemporary meditation on growth and abundance that invites viewers to pause and feel the quiet, verdant rhythm of nature.
