A place to source joyous original hotel artworks –whether you’re looking to inject more colour into your spaces, wanting bespoke, contemporary, landscape paintings to suit any interior scheme, or building an art collection– Arcipluvia is both a series of paintings and a platform through which these artworks are shared, created by London-based artist, Daisy Carrick-Smith.
With gouache being her current medium of choice, in her distinctive painting style Daisy can create anything from large statement pieces to smaller limited edition hotel prints, and everything in-between, to bring something truly unique and captivating to any interior space.
Comprised of multi-coloured stripes of colour, the Arcipluvia scenes present endless opportunity with regard to colour options, and therefore can be painted to accommodate specific interior schemes to perfectly slot in with your hotel/private spaces. Whether you’re wanting a loud, statement piece, something more understated, or if you have particular shades in mind that you would like to be incorporated into these landscapes, Daisy can work with you to create an original hotel artwork piece that is something special and tailored to your needs.
Arcipluvia is a name created from the Latin-derived word ‘arcipluvian’, which translates to an ‘arc of rain’, otherwise known as a rainbow. Arcipluvia is an escape from the everyday to a land of kaleidoscopic hills, which though inspired by earthly landscapes, amount to an imagined world ruled by colour, with a name which perfectly encapsulates the nature of the original hotel artwork pieces.
Arcipluvia is a self-created, imagined-world born out of a longing to visit beautiful places, namely breath-taking Scottish vistas and the rolling Tuscan hills in Italy. These limited edition hotel prints provide an emotive, immersive, and joyously colourful escape from the everyday. For Daisy, colour is synonymous with home.
A natural phenomenon which forever prompts excitement, the ephemeral rainbow is historically and presently a symbol of hope. Taking-on varied roles and meanings in religion and ancient myth across countless cultures, the rainbow was mostly considered a pathway between Earth and Heaven, and subsequently became a sign of promise that better times lie ahead. Arcipluvia encapsulates everything good –old and new– that the rainbow represents, through mesmerising, undulating hills of infinite colour – a contemporary paradise. It is Daisy’s love of colour, and the message of hope woven through her original hotel artwork, which led to the creation of this platform –an eponym of her prismatic landscapes.
