Description
White and Beige – a wall that gathered over time
Modern painting accretes cream, beige, sand and gold-brown in vertical and horizontal loads that overlap like layers of plaster — wall art living entirely off its texture, with no motif anywhere in it.
Technique and texture
The colour is laid with the blade in thick layers, smoothed, then scraped back in places to the coats beneath. The edges of individual loads are sharp and raised, so they cast shadows under side light. Some passages are cracked and grainy and others perfectly smooth, and that alternation is what gives the picture its depth.
The motif
A wide bright field of cream and white holds the middle. A sand-coloured vertical column descends into it from the left with a darker gold-brown band beside it, rust along its edges. A second, similarly built column stands to the right and narrows toward the foot. The upper right corner is a cold grey and the lower left the darkest passage, almost black; those two weights balance the bright middle.
Setting and placement
A neutral range agrees with any furniture and any wall colour, which makes this one of the few pictures that can be hung before the room is finished. Side light is what the surface was made for; without it the relief goes quiet.

Choose the size that suits your wall.
Choosing the size for your wall
White and Beige is painted in 15 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 200 x 200 cm. Above a 160–180 cm bed, 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm works well, roughly two thirds of the headboard’s width. For the wall over a 220 cm sofa go for 150 x 150 cm, for a bare wall in an open-plan room 180 x 180 or 200 x 200 cm, and for a hallway 60 x 60 cm. With YES under Stretcher the canvas is stretched on a wooden stretcher bar and can go straight on the wall. No frame is included, though you can add one from the Frame menu. Delivery time is 15–45 days.
In the first photograph the finished painting stands on the studio easel with an optional slim black frame; the second photograph catches it from the side, where the light picks out the raised, thick strokes of paint. White and Beige is hand-painted on canvas; the layers you see are paint, not a print.
Frequently asked questions
What size of White and Beige should go above a double bed?
For a 160 cm bed choose 110 x 110 cm, and for a 180 cm bed 120 x 120 cm, so the painting stays narrower than the headboard.
Is a frame included in the price?
No, the default choice is Without frame. The slim black frame in the first photograph is one of the options in the Frame menu.
When will the painting arrive?
The white and beige canvas takes 15–45 days to deliver, whichever size you pick.
Is this a printed picture?
No. The second photograph shows the relief of the thick layers of paint, which a print cannot copy: each one is hand-painted on canvas.
