The soul of Playa del Carmen 2017

"The Soul of Playa del Carmen" (2017) by Marina Pallares depicts a woman, seemingly made of flowers and foliage, with her long hair dissolving into turquoise waves. The vibrant colors and flowing forms create a sense of beauty and serenity, evoking the spirit of the famed Mexican beach town, Playa del Carmen. The silhouette of birds adorning the bottom of the painting, with the vibrant sky above, further enhances the feeling of freedom and tranquility.
