Jawta Afnan: Olive Dunes

Olive Dunes

2026

Acrylic on wood 

18” x 24”

“Olive Dunes” was inspired by the aesthetic of a fashion designer’s store and its simple, flowing designs. I used a bright background with different shades of green and curved, flowy shapes to create a smooth, natural look. The colors and patterns reflect the store’s style while giving the piece its own unique feel."
