Description
Stones – a playful organic abstraction with a golden river
A playful composition in the spirit of the mid-century: on white plaster meet two hand-outlined black circles, a thick slate arc, a golden river and pale blue pools. The upper circle on the left embraces a grey arcade and a lime-green patch, while the lower one, left of centre, keeps an open, bluish interior.
Technique & Texture
All the forms are outlined freehand, and white curved lines stroll between them – a large white loop on the right and a long white S-curve across the lower half. This is a hand-painted work of art – the unfinishedness of the circles is not a flaw but its humour.
The Motif
Across the centre runs a broad ochre-gold band like a river, hooking down into a column at its left end; above it, at the centre, rests a slate arc like a bridge, and at the upper right a dark slate mass with a black rectangle at its lower left edge. Below gather two pale blue pools and a white rounded square.
Styling & Placement
A cheerful modern painting for living rooms, children’s rooms and creative offices; the retro organic forms tie beautifully to wood, rattan and mustard tones.

Stones: a square canvas for living rooms and hallways
Stones is offered in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Aim for about two thirds of the width of the furniture below: over a 200 cm sofa the golden river of Stones works at 130 x 130 cm, above a bed 160–180 cm wide take 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm, and over a 150 cm sideboard 100 x 100 cm. In a hallway the black circles on white plaster already read well at 60 x 60 or 70 x 70 cm.
The first photograph shows Stones in a wooden frame above a blue sofa beside a wooden sideboard, and the second photograph shows the same canvas over a black armchair next to a round marble table. A frame is optional: for Stones the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Pick YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its slate arc arrives stretched on wood, ready to hang. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The painting Stones is hand-painted freehand on a plaster ground, so it is not a print.
Questions about Stones

Yes, with YES under Stretcher the white ground with its circles comes stretched on a wooden stretcher.
Can I order Stones in a size that is not among the 14?
Yes, we paint the circles, slate arc and golden river as a painting made to order in your measurements.
