83 Oranges creates a variety of digital art and watercolour pieces that range from minimalist lettering to enchanted scenes of nature. I really enjoy the way the artist uses soft colours and botanical shapes to build a sense of happiness throughout their portfolio. In the piece Embrace Change, a figure with bright orange hair and a blue garment is shown from the waist up with their arms crossed over their chest. Two pink flowers with green leaves and purple buds cover the area where a face would be, which gives the digital painting a very dreamlike quality. It is interesting to see how the artist handles the human body by replacing traditional features with natural elements.
Flower Collector
Flower Collector is another digital art piece that feels quite magical and whimsical. A yellow-haired person in a patterned green dress sits on a blue patterned floor surrounded by three potted plants and scattered white flowers. Behind the figure is an orange sky with a crescent moon, stars, and pink hills visible through a window. The composition makes you feel as though you are looking into a private, quiet moment. 83 Oranges also works with more traditional watercolour styles, such as in Bon Vivant. This image shows a repeating pattern of green leaves on thin stems interspersed with round, pink and dark purple shapes that look like fruit or flowers. The botanical elements are arranged across a light, off-white background in a way that feels very decorative.

Peace Love Happiness
The artist also produces decorative lettering that uses a much simpler palette of white and gold. Peace Love Happiness contains the words “paix,” “amour,” and “bonheur” stacked vertically in a gold-coloured cursive script against a plain white background. While much of the other work is very colourful, this piece relies on the elegance of the anatomy of the letters to convey a mood of peace. Whether they are painting a fantasy scene or a simple botanical pattern, 83 Oranges maintains a consistent aesthetic that feels both happy and enchanted. The mix of magenta, violet, and blue tones across their different works creates a cohesive look that is very easy to appreciate.
