ART NOUVEAU — MUCHA — ORGANIC FLOWING LINES

VISUAL STYLE: Art Nouveau illustration in the tradition of Alphonse Mucha. Sinuous organic lines. Botanical borders of extraordinary intricacy. Female figures at the centre of decorative systems where the human form and the natural world are inseparable.

COLOUR PALETTE: Soft gold (#C9A84C) as the dominant tone — the colour of printed chromolithography. Warm sage green (#8FAF7E) for botanical elements. Dusty rose (#C4836A) for figures and accent details. Pale cream (#F8F4E3) for backgrounds. Deep brown (#3D2B1F) for outline work. The palette of a poster printed on warm paper.

DECORATIVE SYSTEM: Every composition organised within a decorative frame — semicircular at the top, botanical at the sides, geometric at the base. The figure and the border are one system, not figure and background.

BOTANICAL DETAIL: Flowers, leaves, and tendrils rendered with botanical accuracy within the decorative scheme. Poppies, lilies, irises — each plant chosen for symbolic weight. Stems curve and intertwine in patterns that follow Art Nouveau's fundamental belief that nature is geometry made organic.

LINE QUALITY: The defining element. Flowing, unbroken, confident. Lines that curve without hesitation, define form without shading, create depth through pattern alone.

No photographs. No digital flatness. No rigid geometry. Every line must flow. Every form must grow from the organic principles of the movement.
