Description
White Mast – a white ship in the fog
A narrow upright scene to which the title hands the key: from mid-height, left of centre, rises a tall white blade – a mast with a thin dark vein in its core, the shaft and its rope – and at its foot two or three dark scratchy horizontal strokes reach to the left, like a spar or a horizon scratched into the fog.
Technique & Texture
Everything is soft grey-blue fog into which sharp events are incised: the white blade, the dark mass, the scratches. This is a hand-painted work of art – the fog is blended, the events within it sharp, which gives the scene its depth.
The Motif
To the right of the mast stands a dark charcoal mass – a ship’s hull or a pier’s shadow – descending from mid-height almost to the bottom, its edges softening into fog; white leaks of light creep along its right side, and a bright glow presses against it at the upper right. At the left middle the fog takes a greenish slate tint, and pale grey bands with a light patch on the right close the bottom.
Styling & Placement
A mysterious decorative painting for bedrooms, bathrooms and quiet corners; whoever does not see the ship receives a pure abstraction of light in fog – both readings are correct.

Choose a size and anchor the white ship on your wall.
White Mast for a narrow wall, a bathroom or a stairwell
White Mast comes in 14 upright sizes, from 40 x 80 to 180 x 360 cm. This narrow upright canvas with its white mast in fog fits beside a wardrobe or in a bathroom, where 40 x 80 or 50 x 100 cm is enough. Above a console 90 cm wide, choose 60 x 120 cm, which covers about two thirds of its width. A hallway takes 70 x 140 cm, and a stairwell under a high ceiling 90 x 180 or 100 x 200 cm.
The first photograph shows the lower part of the canvas leaning on a wooden floor beside crumpled linen, and the second photograph is a close-up of the cracked grey-blue paint. Pick YES under Stretcher and White Mast arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for White Mast the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery takes 15–45 days. White Mast is hand-painted, with blended fog and sharp incisions, so this painting is not a print.
