Description
White Mosaic – sculptural tiles in white
Rounded knife tiles in white, cream and pale grey tones, filling the canvas within a smooth flat border – a sculptural white mosaic: fist-sized rounded slabs are laid edge to edge, each with a raised lip that catches a shadow.
Technique & Texture
A tonal drift runs from pure white at the centre and upper right, through cream at the left middle and lower centre, to a cool grey at the upper left and in the right column. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the mosaic sits within a smooth pale border that frames the field like the edge of the canvas.
The Motif
A grey block is in the lower left corner with a grey thumb-shape above it, a small dark-grey tab is at the right edge, and a greyish slab near the upper right edge. A sculptural whiteness, where the tonal differences between white, cream and cool grey play in the raking light.
Styling & Placement
A calm decorative painting for living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms; the whiteness brightens the room, the texture adds depth. Wall art for bright, minimalist spaces.

White Mosaic over a sofa, bed or sideboard
White Mosaic comes in 14 near-square sizes, from 40 x 41 to 180 x 185 cm, the canvas only slightly taller than wide. Let the white and cream tiles take about two thirds of the furniture width: over a 200 cm sofa 130 x 135 or 140 x 145 cm, above a bed 160–180 cm wide, 110 x 115 or 120 x 120 cm, over a 150 cm sideboard 100 x 100 cm, and in a hallway 60 x 60 cm. The first photograph shows the painting above a sage-green sofa next to a brass floor lamp, and the second photograph shows it over a wooden sideboard with a gold bowl and white flowers.
The thin dark frame in both photographs is optional: the Frame menu for White Mosaic starts at Without frame. Choose YES under Stretcher and the tiled canvas arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Every tile has a raised knife-made lip that catches a shadow, so White Mosaic is hand-painted and not a print.
