Renowned for her ability to transform environments, San Francisco decorative artist Caroline Lizarraga invites the viewer into a distinct, intimate world with BeetleGem. Fresh from her high-profile collaboration with Benjamin Moore for Art Basel, Lizarraga continues her exploration of transportive design, proving that a single artwork can create a defining "moment" in any space.
The piece is anchored by a fearless, washed-pink atmosphere—a contemporary field of acrylic drips and energetic scribbles. Traversing this landscape is a procession of beetles, each rendered with the luster of semi-precious stones. The artist’s favorite color, green, takes center stage here: detailed close-ups reveal carapaces painted with the swirling depth of malachite and the mossy fracturing of raw agate.

Lizarraga treats the cambric panel not just as a surface, but as a portal to a mood. The juxtaposition of the rough, painterly background with the hyper-glossy, jewelry-like insects creates a sophisticated tension. It is a work that feels both personal and expansive—a memory captured in paint, designed to bring a touch of the extraordinary into the everyday. Acrylic on Cambric Panel.
