Bahia holds a special place in my heart, as it is where colonial Brazil began.
This region has witnessed both beauty and trauma, and its natural landscape has changed significantly since the Portuguese expeditions arrived. This work is a tribute to the paradise Bahia once was.

Surrounded by its vibrant flora and fauna, as depicted here, you can travel back in time and experience its enchanting essence.

This work combines my past experiences visiting Bahia with inspiration drawn from original illustrations dating back to the era of its discovery.

I began by creating a moodboard that grouped my favorite coastal plants, animals, color schemes, and elements that naturally remind me of Bahia. From there, I developed a color palette based on Emmanuelle's preferences, adapting it to best suit this unique wallpaper. The result is a mix of pastel tones ranging from baby pink to yellow, pale greens, teals, and a blend of deeper colors for contrast.

Drawing from my personal photo and imagery archives and extensive online research, I have carefully selected a combination of local animal and plant species that I found both exuberant and integral to this landscape. My goal was to achieve a high level of accuracy to create a scene that transports the viewer to its original location, even though this is a fantasy rendition.

Everything was hand painted as a single large piece to be enjoyed as a whole.

However it can be customised to different sizes and ambiances up to 4 meters high, turning this wallpaper into a unique decorative panorama.

It was quite an extensive work that lasted several weeks but it brought me immense joy.

Enjoy Bahia. Soon, you will be able to order your bespoke panoramic wallpaper from Paradisio Imaginarium's website and transport yourself to my secret tropical paradise.
