Description
Zelenik – translucent shapes in a light palette
Painting on canvas disperses rounded and rectangular shapes across the whole surface and lets them overlap one another: decorative painting light enough to brighten a room that has no daylight of its own.
Technique and texture
The colour is laid sparsely and translucently, so the lower layers show through the upper ones. Some shapes are outlined with a freely drawn line and others simply stop of their own accord. In places the paint has run downward and left thin traces behind it.
The motif
The shapes represent nobody and nothing — they read as windows, arcs and ribbons. A row of small yellow half-circles crosses the middle and works as a beat between the larger planes. A turquoise line winds through the centre in two arcs and links the upper half to the lower. Vertical blue and white stripes at the bottom centre anchor the whole. The colours are bright and unmixed — pink, yellow, turquoise, coral and sky blue.
Setting and placement
A light, almost pastel range means this one lifts a space that gets no natural light. In a child’s room or a working corner its playfulness is the point rather than a concession.

Zelenik: upright sizes for narrow, bright corners
Zelenik, with its translucent pink, yellow and turquoise shapes, is painted in 14 portrait sizes, from 40 x 50 to 180 x 225 cm. 40 x 50 or 50 x 70 cm suits a narrow wall between doors or in a child’s room, 60 x 80 cm fits a spot beside a bookcase or wardrobe, 75 x 100 cm sits above a hall console, and a stairwell has room for 90 x 120 or 100 x 130 cm.
Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and Zelenik comes on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang the day it arrives. A frame is an extra choice; the Frame menu opens at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The translucent layers, turquoise arc and row of yellow half-circles are hand-painted, so this painting is not a print.
Questions about Zelenik
Which size of Zelenik fits a narrow wall by a door?
Beside a door 40 x 50 or 50 x 70 cm settles in easily, and with a higher ceiling the pastel shapes work at 60 x 80 cm too.
Does Zelenik come with a frame?
No, the frame is optional and the Frame menu starts at Without frame, so the pink and turquoise shapes arrive unframed.
Is Zelenik printed?
No, the translucent layers and the downward runs of paint are applied to the canvas by hand.
Can I order Zelenik in a different size?
Yes, we also paint the translucent shapes in their light palette as a painting made to order for your wall.
