Mesmerizing and fluid, “A Wave of Foliage” captures the rhythmic motion of tree tops as seen in the famed garden frescoes of the Villa of Livia—an estate gifted to Livia Drusilla upon her marriage to Emperor Augustus in 39 B.C.
Unlike other works in the From Antiquity series based on Pompeii or Herculaneum, this piece draws from a Roman villa just outside the city. One section of the mural, with treetops cresting like waves, inspired a deeper exploration of pattern and motion—leading to this graceful, immersive painting.
Featuring a wide range of verdant tones—from soft seafoam green to bright butter yellow—this artwork evokes the layered beauty of nature and the flowing rhythm of water.
