Palace of Pools
Palace of Pools is the work that announces Idris Vale's Arabesque Isometry. Seen from a precise bird's-eye angle, a palace of nested courtyards unfolds like a jewelled diorama, each enclosure cradling a still turquoise pool ringed by arched sandstone colonnades, the whole arranged around a central dark plaza inlaid with a vast, breathtakingly intricate gold arabesque mandala. Vale renders every crenellation, archway and shadow with octane-render precision, the warm daylight raking across the ivory stone. The effect is both monumental and intimate — a great palace shrunk to a treasure you could hold. Symmetrical, opulent and hypnotically detailed, it sets the luxurious tone for the entire collection.
An original oil painting on canvas by Idris Vale, painted to order — never a reproduction. Luxurious isometric renders of Moorish palace architecture — sandstone courtyards, turquoise pools and intricate gold arabesque inlay, like jewelled dioramas.
