Description
Border of Worlds – two worlds along one line
Two worlds, divided at about fifty-six percent of the height – a pale cream plaster sky with incised drawings above, a dark charcoal-brown earth below – with an eventful border between them: the cream plaster carries a warm peach hint at the centre, into which marks are incised – a hooked line at the upper left, an S-shaped scribble at the mid-right and a long diagonal scratch at the right.
Technique & Texture
Along the border a furrowed dark skyline of knife blocks rises, and right of centre small vertical posts stick up. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – a white bird-like smudge sits just below the border, left of centre, and a pale trace falls a little further right.
The Motif
The lower zone is a charcoal-brown knife mass, blocky and cracked, fading toward the lower left corner with thin trickles. Two clearly separated zones, where the spontaneous lines in the pale zone read like sketches or poetry written in the mud – the raw honesty of two worlds.
Styling & Placement
A dramatic modern painting for living rooms, offices and reception areas; the cream sky calms, the dark earth adds weight. Wall art for spaces that love contrast and depth.

Border of Worlds: choosing an upright size
Border of Worlds comes in 15 upright sizes, from 40 x 55 to 200 x 279 cm. A narrow wall beside a wardrobe needs only 50 x 69 or 60 x 83 cm, while over a 120 cm console the cream sky and dark earth work at 80 x 111 cm, about two thirds of its width. A tall stairwell wall takes 120 x 167 or 140 x 195 cm.
The first photograph shows Border of Worlds leaning on a grey wall, standing on a woven rattan trunk beside a carved wooden stool, and the second photograph is a close-up of the knife blocks in the dark lower zone with the white smudge at the border. A frame for Border of Worlds is optional, and the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Pick YES under Stretcher and the cream and charcoal canvas arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Border of Worlds is hand-painted with a knife in thick relief, so this painting is not a print.
