Description
Blue Semicircle – one form, one gesture
A single massive navy-slate arc in heavy impasto commands the cream-white canvas: it enters at the top edge, bulges right almost to the border and lands at the lower left, where its foot spreads along the bottom edge. The opening of the letter C looks to the left – a white pocket inside the arc.
Technique & Texture
Through the middle of the arc run parallel combed grooves that follow the curve like sculptural ribs; the edges crumble dry into the white, and the lower mass is the heaviest and roughest. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the grooves are drawn into a fresh, thick layer.
The Motif
To the right of the arc the canvas stays calm and white, with tiny dark specks – an emptiness that gives the form all the space. One form, one gesture: the painting is the record of a single decisive act.
Styling & Placement
Bold wall art on canvas for living rooms, offices and entrance halls; it works like a calligraphic sign at grand scale and gives the room a focus without filling it.

A tall format: sizes and delivery
Blue Semicircle is a tall, portrait-format painting in 16 sizes, from 40 x 63 to 200 x 319 cm. Beside an armchair or on a narrow wall choose 60 x 95 or 70 x 111 cm, in a hallway 50 x 79 cm, on a high living-room wall 100 x 159 or 120 x 191 cm, and for a floor-to-ceiling wall the larger sizes up to 200 x 319 cm. With YES under Stretcher it arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher bar and can be hung at once; you can add a frame, but it does not need one. Delivery time is 15–45 days.
The first photograph shows it unframed on a grey wall beside a chair and a small side table, and the second photograph moves closer to the ridged relief of the thick blue paint in the arc. No print produces relief like this: the painting is hand-painted on canvas.
Why does Blue Semicircle make such an impression?
Blue Semicircle is a painting of a single form: a massive navy-slate arc on a cream-white canvas that reads like a large calligraphic sign. Because everything else stays empty and calm, it gives a room a clear focus without filling it. That is why it works in an entrance hall that should greet guests with one strong impression, in a living room above an armchair, or in an office. The dark blue sits well with grey and white walls, pale wood, leather and black metal details, and the tall format makes use of the height of the wall.
How is Blue Semicircle painted?
Blue Semicircle is hand-painted by our painters in dense, heavy impasto. The arc is drawn into a fresh, thick layer, and parallel combed grooves run through its middle, following the curve like sculptural ribs; the edges crumble dry into the white. The first photograph shows the painting unframed on a grey wall beside a chair, the second the ridged relief of the blue paint close up, which no print can produce. Because the arc is drawn by hand, its shape and the run of the grooves are unique to every canvas. When Blue Semicircle is finished, we send you a photograph of it and ship it once you approve.
Rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Blue Semicircle the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a wooden stretcher bar, or framed. Blue Semicircle is stretched, and framed on request, in our workshop in Slovenia. For the tall sizes, from 100 x 159 cm upward, a stretched canvas is the practical choice, because a big roll is hard to stretch yourself at home. As the first photograph shows, the painting does not need a frame; if you want one, pick it in the Frame menu, and a slim black frame brings out the dark blue arc.
How should I hang and look after it?
Keep the centre of a tall painting at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor; with the very large sizes, leave the bottom edge a few dozen centimetres above the floor or furniture. Side light from a window or a lamp brings out the grooves in the arc. Do not rub the thick paint: lift dust with a soft dry brush, without water or cleaners, and keep the painting away from radiators.
Is Blue Semicircle a good gift?
For anyone who loves minimalism, calligraphy or blue, Blue Semicircle is a gift with a clear character. The upright 40 x 63 and 50 x 79 cm sizes fit a hallway or a narrow wall. If you do not know which wall is waiting for Blue Semicircle, give a gift voucher.
Questions about Blue Semicircle
Which size of Blue Semicircle suits a narrow wall?
Beside an armchair or between doors choose 60 x 95 or 70 x 111 cm; the tall format uses the height of the wall without crowding it.
Is the relief of the blue arc real?
Yes. The second photograph shows the ridges of thickly applied paint, shaped by the painter’s hand; a print would be flat.
How long do I wait for delivery?
We deliver Blue Semicircle in 15–45 days.
Is a size that is not listed possible?
For a special measurement outside the 16 on offer, write to us through paintings made to order.
How high should Blue Semicircle hang?
Hang Blue Semicircle with its centre at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor.

No. Stretched on its stretcher bar it looks finished unframed, as the first photograph shows.
How do I clean the thick impasto?
Only with a soft dry brush; do not rub the grooves or the relief.
Can I order it rolled, without the stretcher?
Yes. Blue Semicircle arrives rolled, stretched or framed, as you choose when ordering.
