This week’s featured artwork is Mushy Land 3.0 by Raphael Lacoste, which uses a split complementary harmony to stunning effect. Orange takes center stage in the glowing mushrooms, while shades of blue and green balance the composition, creating a vibrant and immersive atmosphere.

What makes this image truly captivating is how it plays with scale. The towering mushrooms, paired with the tiny human figures and stairs, transform a familiar subject into something otherworldly. The contrast in scale, combined with the glowing warmth of the orange light, pulls the viewer into a world that feels vast, mysterious, and alive.
