Menton Vibes 1 reimagines the symbolic spiral of Upward Mobility through the joyful palette of Menton, a sun-soaked town on the French Riviera known for its pastel architecture and Mediterranean blues.

Like its predecessor, this painting traces a journey of growth and transformation, with a bold spiral that rises from the bottom left to the top right—an abstract metaphor for progress, elevation, and the cycles of life. The form is rendered as a folded origami structure, with delicate creases that catch light and create a tactile sense of motion and dimension.

This version infuses its own color story: warm corals, soft yellows, terracottas, and ocean blues drawn directly from the facades and seascapes of Menton. These tones infuse the work with a sense of coastal lightness and nostalgia, balancing the deeper symbolism with a feeling of joy and breezy optimism.
