The southwest motif has become a very popular decorating style and it has even made itself known in the world of art. Southwestern art includes artwork that comes from the southwest portion of America, including New Mexico, Arizona, California, Texas and more. With Hispanic and Native American influences, this unique, earth-tone artwork focuses on desert life, western cowboys, Indian chiefs, cattle skulls and more!
Using the southwest desert landscape filled with sand and cacti, some artists use bright, bold colors contrasted against dull adobe buildings and beige sands to create stunning Southwestern art pieces. Including succulents, vibrant moccasins and even intricate dreamcatchers, these brighter pieces concentrate on specific cultural pieces. Southwestern art celebrates life in the desert with its simplistic designs and rich color schemes. Including both simplistic silhouettes of Kokopelli to ornate Native American pottery, the diversity of subject matter and style makes Southwestern artwork truly unique.
Since most Southwest art contains colors found in the desert, they are filled with warm reds and golden browns. If you have a room with espresso brown furniture or neutral walls, a Southwestern print is a great way to add some colors to your walls without overpowering the space.
Southwestern wall art can also transform your home into a chic oasis. Outfitted with a rustic brown or black frame, Southwestern framed art brings culture to your room without having to change out all of your décor. For a more modern feel, try a glamorous gold frame to pick up the yellows of the desert. If you want an even more contemporary look, have your Southwestern art printed on canvas to make it pop! From contemporary to traditional looks, Southwestern wall art will brighten your space and add color to your walls!
