Artwork Description

This artwork captures the quiet magic of watching the sun set over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Soft gradients of spray paint evoke the fading warmth of sunset, while intricate hand stitching forms an abstracted cityscape of pale buildings. A red-threaded outline of the bridge anchors the scene, suspended in the dreamy pastel haze. Beneath it all, a soft spray-painted grid subtly overlays the surface—hinting at the human presence of planning, structure, and design that underpins the urban landscape.

This artwork is made on handmade Khandi paper with deckled paper edges. I would recommend having it framed in a float frame so that you can showcase the entirety of the artwork with the deckled edges of the paper.

Artist Bio

Driven by a deep love of travel and discovery, Tarli draws creative inspiration from her surroundings—both built and natural. Her intuitive approach allows her to reimagine these environments through simplified lines, bold color palettes, layered textures, and intricate patterns, blurring the lines between abstraction and representation.

Her practice is defined by a striking contrast in materials. Tarli combines the immediacy of spray paint and acrylics with the slow, tactile process of hand sewing. This juxtaposition not only highlights the tension between speed and craft but also introduces a rich, textural dimension to her pieces.

Creativity has been a lifelong pursuit for Tarli. Growing up with a mother who is also an artist, she spent countless hours in the studio experimenting with various materials and techniques—an early immersion that continues to shape her innovative and exploratory practice today.
