Las Brisas sweeps you into the rarefied world of January 1978 Acapulco, where Warren Avis’ estate commanded one of the coast’s most enviable vantage points. The car rental magnate’s hillside haven gazed across cerulean waters that had beckoned Hollywood royalty and industrial titans to this Pacific paradise since the 1950s. Here, pink bougainvillea cascaded down whitewashed walls while ocean breezes carried hints of frangipani and salt air into the prestigious neighborhood. The scene crystallizes that singular moment when this Mexican resort reigned as the western hemisphere’s most coveted retreat, its terraced homes and infinity pools carved into dramatic cliffs above the shimmering bay.

Slim Aarons brings the mystique of this elite enclave directly into your living space with this museum-quality print. The image transforms any interior into a sophisticated sanctuary that whispers of jets, yacht parties, and sojourns among the international elite. Las Brisas creates an atmosphere of cultivated luxury, where every glance transports you to those heady days when the port city represented the pinnacle of seaside sophistication. The image’s azure palette and sun-drenched composition establish a mood of perpetual leisure and effortless elegance.

Owning this print means possessing a window to an era when exclusivity meant something profound. Your walls become portals to that rarified world where Avis entertained captains of industry and socialites lounged by swimming pools. The image infuses your home with the confidence of old money and the allure of places accessible only to those who knew. Slim Aarons understood that true luxury resided not in ostentation but in perfect moments perfectly preserved, and this piece delivers that essence to your personal space.

Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches - what size will I receive?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing format depends on the product type and your delivery location. In almost all cases, the difference between metric and imperial conversions is only a few millimetres.

Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print always matches the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it is included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.

Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame — the print size including any border. The frame moulding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.

Q: Are these limited-edition or numbered prints?
All prints are not produced in fixed or numbered editions. Each piece is made to order using archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine-art paper for exceptional clarity and longevity.
