Description
Blue Cross – two lines that lack nothing
Less than this is not possible: two textured electric-blue lines cross on rough white plaster and form a bare, slightly shifted cross. The vertical enters at the top edge at half the width and stops before it reaches the bottom; the horizontal runs almost the full width and slopes gently down to the right.
Technique & Texture
Both lines have crumbly edges, laid into the grain of the plaster, which eats at their borders up close. This is a hand-painted work of art – the ground is heavy, rough plaster with a dense knife grain and warmer patches at the lower left.
The Motif
They cross a little below half height, at the middle of the width – but the tilt of the horizontal and the vertical that never arrives take the severity from the cross and give it life. It is precisely this small imperfection that is the whole content of the painting.
Styling & Placement
A minimalist abstract painting for offices, hallways and living rooms with a less-is-more philosophy; blue on white works clean and fresh beside any furnishing.

Blue Cross in your room
Blue Cross is a landscape painting, wider than tall, offered in 15 sizes from 56 x 40 to 278 x 200 cm; in each size the first number is the width of the blue cross. Over a 200 cm sofa choose 125 x 90 or 139 x 100 cm, about two thirds of the sofa, above a 160 cm bed 112 x 80 cm, and over a 150 cm sideboard 98 x 70 cm.
The first photograph shows it in an optional white frame above a bed with a dark blue upholstered headboard, and the second photograph in an optional pale frame on a white wall above a wooden chair holding blue flowers. The two electric-blue lines on rough white plaster are hand-painted, so the painting is not a print. Choose YES under Stretcher and the blue cross arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang, and a frame for Blue Cross stays optional, since the Frame menu starts at Without frame. Blue Cross reaches you in 15–45 days.
