Toile Emerald Veil over Rio Una

This photograph, captured at the Balneário Três Ilhas in Valença, Bahia, is an immersive study of the relationship between the Atlantic Forest and its lifegiving waters. The composition features a delicate "curtain" of leafy branches hanging low over the amber-toned currents of the Rio Una, creating a natural frame that pulls the viewer into the heart of the jungle. What makes this piece special is its vibrant layering. The intense greens of the canopy are illuminated by dappled sunlight, contrasting beautifully with the rich, earthy tones of the river below. It captures the humid, rhythmic energy of a tropical afternoon, where the sound of flowing water and the rustle of leaves are the only melodies. For a collector, this image offers a "biophilic" escape—bringing the lush, oxygen-rich atmosphere of the Brazilian wilderness into a home or office to create a space of deep relaxation and natural connection.
