Enchanted Garden, set of 3 (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Mariia Raskin

▶ ARTWORK OVERVIEW
Small square mixed media triptych on paper featuring semi-abstract tropical leaves with intricate decorative patterns. Created using collage, hand-crocheted cotton lace, linen fabric, denim fabric and vintage buttons, the artworks have a richly textured tactile surface. The triptych is painted in harmonious shades of blue, deep navy and soft grey, creating a serene interpretation of fantasy tropical flora through layered botanical forms and organic textures.

▶ MOOD & INSPIRATION
Calm. Tactile. Deeply rooted. These were the feelings that guided me while creating this triptych. I incorporated delicate denim and linen fabrics taken from high-fashion garments that had remained unworn for fifteen years, giving them a new life through art. The pearl-like and transparent buttons resemble tiny drops of morning dew resting on leaves. At the same time, they remind me of a grandmother’s sewing box filled with treasured odds and ends, the kind of little treasures you could spend hours sorting through as a child. I love reimagining botanical motifs in my work. They seem to reconnect us with nature, restoring a sense of stability and balance and reminding us where we belong.

▶ INTERIOR & COLLECTOR
Ideal for collectors who appreciate botanical art, tactile mixed media techniques and artworks inspired by nature. Perfect for lovers of eco interiors, organic textures and calming contemporary wall art with handcrafted details. This small square triptych fits beautifully into bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, reading corners, hallways and narrow wall spaces. It also works wonderfully on decorative columns or as part of a gallery wall. Its soothing blue palette makes it an excellent choice for coastal, Scandinavian, eco style, Japandi and modern organic interiors, bringing a feeling of tranquility, relaxation and quiet contemplation.

▶ ABOUT THE «JUNGLE» SERIES
This artwork belongs to the «JUNGLE» series, exploring different moods and impressions of the tropical world. It reflects both the vibrant energy of tropical plants and the quiet, refreshing stillness of an exotic garden.

▶ ART PAINTING TECHNIQUE
I work in a unique oil-on-water paper technique, where fluid oil-based pigments are guided across the surface of water and then carefully transferred onto fine art paper. Each sheet is created individually, making every pattern completely unique and naturally formed.
These textured papers become the foundation of my mixed media compositions. I use them as a base layer and further develop the artwork through collage and painting.
Final details and expressive elements are painted by hand with acrylics, combining spontaneous natural patterns with controlled artistic refinement.

▶ HANDMADE LACE ELEMENT
In this work, I use handmade lace that I crochet myself from cotton threads. For each piece, I carefully create a lace motif that resonates with the composition and mood.
To prepare the lace for mixed media use, it is straightened while wet, fixed to a surface, and delicately painted with acrylics. This allows the lace to hold its shape while preserving the natural texture of the threads, making it an integral part of the artwork.
