Hiriketiya Poster Right - Artful Travel™ Collection by Alecse

There was a time when Hiriketiya was little more than a secluded tropical bay on Sri Lanka's southern coast, where coconut palms leaned over the ocean and surfers came in search of its beautiful waves. Today, this small crescent-shaped paradise has become one of the island's most beloved coastal destinations, but its natural beauty remains as captivating as ever.

Hiriketiya Right is a vintage travel poster by Alecse, capturing the lush, rocky headland that frames one side of this enchanting bay. Bathed in golden light, the scene evokes the warmth, tranquility and timeless charm of Sri Lanka.

HIRIKETIYA, A LITTLE PARADISE ON SRI LANKA'S SOUTH COAST

Tucked away near the town of Dikwella, Hiriketiya is a small horseshoe-shaped bay surrounded by tropical vegetation. Once a relatively quiet coastal hideaway, it has gradually transformed into a lively destination known for its surfing, cafés and relaxed atmosphere.

Its sheltered waters, palm-fringed shores and distinctive rocky headlands give Hiriketiya a character all its own. Despite its growing popularity, the bay still offers glimpses of the tropical landscape that first attracted travelers to this corner of Sri Lanka.

Fun Fact: Hiriketiya is particularly appreciated by surfers for the different waves found within its compact bay, including a left-hand point break that has helped establish its reputation as a surfing destination.

A PERSONAL MEMORY OF SRI LANKA

For Alecse, Sri Lanka holds a special place. The French artist lived on the island for several years, and it was here that his journey into vintage-inspired travel poster art began.

Based on one of his own photographs, Hiriketiya Right reflects his personal connection to the island and his fascination with its extraordinary coastal landscapes.

The artwork focuses on the right-hand side of Hiriketiya Bay, where a dramatic rocky promontory rises above turquoise waters, crowned by coconut palms and dense tropical greenery. Overhanging leaves frame the composition, while a warm golden sky gives the scene a nostalgic, almost dreamlike quality.

VINTAGE CHARM, TROPICAL COLORS

Part of Alecse's Artful Travels™ collection, this original artwork combines photography, illustration and digital painting. Its distinctive halftone texture, inspired by classic vintage printing techniques, brings depth and character to the composition.

The palette blends sun-faded yellows, deep tropical greens and shimmering shades of turquoise. Together, these colors evoke the warmth of the Indian Ocean and the atmosphere of a timeless tropical escape.

Whether you have fond memories of Sri Lanka, a passion for surfing and coastal destinations, or simply love vintage travel art, Hiriketiya Right brings a little of the island's magic into your home.

Alecse’s Vintage Style: blurs & grains


This vintage travel poster of Hiriketiya Poster Right reflects Alecse’s distinctive artistic approach. Through his signature half-tone render, the artwork evokes the atmosphere of Sri Lanka with a timeless retro aesthetic.

Alecse's Original Travel Posters are celebrated for their unique half-tone render, a signature style that plays a crucial role in their appeal and authenticity. This distinctive digital effect is intentionally used to mimic the old poster printing process, where colors were rendered by the juxtaposition of dots of different sizes and colors. This method is a nod to vintage aesthetics, giving each poster a classic, retro look that aficionados of vintage travel and retro posters appreciate.

Half-Tone vs. Pixelization:

  • Half-Tone is an artistic technique used to create shading and texture effects in images. It involves the arrangement of dots of varying sizes and spacing to simulate different shades of color. This technique was traditionally used in the printing industry to reproduce photographs and illustrations with a limited color palette, contributing to a poster's vintage appearance.
  • Pixelization, on the other hand, refers to an effect seen in digital images when they are enlarged beyond their resolution. This results in the individual pixels becoming visible, making the image appear blocky or mosaic-like. Pixelization is often considered a flaw or limitation of digital images, unlike the half-tone effect, which is a deliberate artistic choice.

like all his posters, Hiriketiya Poster Right by Alecse™ is printed in Fine Art 12 Giclées, ensuring high-quality reproductions that honor the original artistic intent. While these art prints are not meant to be crisp like photographs and intentionally include blurs and vintage effects, it's essential to distinguish these artistic choices from potential printing defects. A clear indication of a print's quality is the crispness of the signature and titles; if these elements are not sharp, it may indicate a printing issue.

For those interested in the intricate details of Alecse's work or wanting to appreciate the half-tone effect fully, we offer the option to receive a close-up picture in High Definition before placing an order. This allows customers to make informed decisions and ensures satisfaction with their purchase of vintage travel and retro posters, enhancing their collection with pieces that truly represent the artist's vision and the era's printing techniques.
