Abstract Protea Pulse Wallpaper

In this sub-collection of artworks dubbed ‘Vibrant Echoes’, Tharien explores a high-energy series of digital abstracts where organic textures meet geometric chaos. This collection plays with “glitch” aesthetics, tiger-stripe motifs, and neon-saturated palettes to create a sense of constant movement and urban rhythm.

She enjoys carrying techniques such as chiascuro, or using the contrast between light and dark effectively, as well as the finobacci sequence, which essentially sets the balance of elements within piece that’s more appealing to the eye.

Her style is almost elclectic in the sense where Tharien has create such a wide range of designs, from abstract painted works to fine illustrations, that her abilities are carried through a variety of mediums and themes.

In her new collection, Tharien explores a fearless fusion of South African heritage and a contemporary edge. This collection by Tharien Smith brings together the architectural beauty of the King Protea and Strelitzia with the raw energy of leopard prints and vivid, rhythmic abstracts. Designed for those who aren’t afraid of colour, this collection celebrates the fusion of fine art, textile design, and the wild, untamed spirit of the Cape.
