Templo del Dios del Viento II

from $650.00

Captured along the Caribbean edge of Tulum on the first morning after arrival, this photograph was made in a quiet, heightened state where exhaustion and awe sit side by side.

This work holds a sense of suspension - ancient structure set against open air, and carries that balance into an interior with calm restraint.

The solitary stone ruin stood at the cliff’s edge, held between land, sea, and sky. Wind moved steadily through the palms, while the structure itself remained still, as if it had been waiting there long before anyone came to look.

Standing there, the openness of the horizon felt physical - air and exposure extending in every direction, while the heat of the Mexican sun pressed sharply against the skin. Below, the shoreline gathered layers of sand, sea, and dark strands of seaweed into an elemental composition shaped by time and tide.

Wide cloud formations drifted slowly overhead, softening the vastness of the sky and introducing movement to the stillness. In that moment, the landscape felt suspended; permanence held inside openness, ancient form set against infinite air.

This work brings that balance into an interior: quiet structure and openness, horizon and grounding, held without visual noise.

  • This artwork is released in a limited edition of 100 and is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity noting its individual edition number. As editions progress, prices may increase as the edition approaches completion.

  • Each work is available in three architectural scales. The right size depends on how you want the work to live within your space.

    Signature Large (60 × 90 cm)
    Best suited to more intimate spaces, layered walls, and quieter moments. Ideal for bedrooms, studies, hallways, and areas where the work is discovered rather than announced.

    Statement (80 × 120 cm)
    Designed to shape a room. This scale holds visual weight without overwhelming and is often chosen for living spaces, dining rooms, and primary walls.

    Collector (100 × 150 cm)
    Architectural scale. A commanding work intended to anchor large or open-plan interiors, where presence, horizon, and proportion can fully unfold.

    Each artwork is released as part of a single edition of 100. Scale affects presence, not rarity.

  • Each work is custom made to order in Australia. Our large scale photographs are printed using archival pigment inks on a museum-grade 310gsm cotton fine art paper with a smooth matte finish. This premium 100% cotton paper is chosen for its soft surface, rich tonal depth, crisp detail, and long-term stability, allowing the image to retain clarity, colour integrity, and presence over time.

    Works are presented with a 5cm white border as part of the intended framing. Full-bleed prints can be arranged on request for specific project requirements.

    Each work is made to order specifically for you. As a result, all orders are final once placed.

  • Framing
    Framed presentation is the artist’s intended way to experience the work. Frames are available in Black, White, or Tasmanian Oak. Each piece is professionally framed, sealed, and arrives ready to hang with ‘D-hooks’ on either side.

    Unframed Works
    Unframed editions are supplied rolled and should be handled with care. We recommend professional framing using archival methods, and handling with clean hands or cotton gloves to protect the print surface.

    For custom requirements, please contact studio@nikkimalvar.com.

  • AUSTRALIA
    Complimentary shipping within Australia is included with each order. As each work is made to order, please allow 10–12 business days for production, in addition to delivery time. All artworks are carefully packed to ensure safe transport.

    INTERNATIONAL
    At present, framed works are only available for delivery within Australia. For international collectors, unframed editions can be shipped in a protective tube. Please contact studio@nikkimalvar.com to discuss options.

  • Limited edition artworks are reserved for collectors and residential settings. A separate selection of non-editioned works from Nikki’s archive is available for volume licensing and project-based use across hospitality and commercial environments.

    Interior designers, stylists, and project teams are invited to get in touch to discuss artwork selection, sizing, and project requirements. Please contact studio@nikkimalvar.com with details of your project
