Description
paintings – Blue Coast – sea between a white sky and white sand
Wall art beds a broad band of saturated blue between a pale grey sky above and a sandy white along the lower edge — abstract painting that arrives at a coast without drawing one.
Technique and texture
The colour is laid with the blade in long horizontal passes that tear through to a lighter ground in places. The sky is built from several thin white and grey layers with the weave of the canvas left visible between them. The white droplets were flicked onto paint that had already dried and sit on top of it as a fine relief.
The motif
The composition falls into three horizontal bands, of which the middle is by far the strongest in colour. A dark, almost black line runs across the full width inside the blue and reads as depth rather than as a drawn object. The pale band at the foot is the quietest passage and sets the whole thing on the ground.
Setting and placement
Cold blue in a tall upright crop refreshes a warmly furnished room rather than joining it. Against pale timber and white walls the blue becomes more saturated still.

Blue Coast on a tall, narrow wall
Blue Coast comes in 15 upright sizes, from 30 x 50 to 180 x 305 cm. The tall, narrow crop of Blue Coast is made for walls where a landscape format has no room: 40 x 70 or 50 x 85 cm between two windows or beside a door, 60 x 105 cm over a 90 cm console table, about two thirds of its width, 70 x 120 cm next to a wardrobe or in a bathroom, and 90 x 155 or 100 x 170 cm up a stairwell.
Pick YES under Stretcher and the saturated blue canvas is delivered stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready for the wall. No frame comes with Blue Coast unless you add one in the Frame menu, which begins at Without frame. Delivery is 15–45 days. The blue band, the pale grey sky and the white droplets are hand-painted with a blade and brush, so the painting is not printed.
Is Blue Coast the right blue abstract sea painting for a bathroom, bedroom or narrow wall?
Yes, Blue Coast is a fresh abstract sea painting in an upright format: a broad band of saturated blue lies between a pale grey sky above and a sandy white strip below, and a near-black line runs through the blue and reads as depth. The cold blue freshens a warmly furnished room, so Blue Coast belongs in a bathroom, a bedroom, a living room or on a narrow wall between windows or beside a door.
How is Blue Coast painted by hand?
Blue Coast is hand-painted by our painters with a palette knife: the blue goes on in long horizontal passes that tear through to a lighter ground in places, the sky is built from thin white and grey layers with the weave of the canvas left visible, and the white droplets are flicked onto paint that has already dried. When Blue Coast is finished, we send you a photograph of it to approve, then ship it.
How does Blue Coast arrive: rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Blue Coast the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. Blue Coast is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. Stretched, Blue Coast arrives ready to hang; rolled, it is practical for the tall sizes up to 180 x 305 cm. A white or light wooden frame makes the saturated blue stronger still.
How should I hang and care for Blue Coast?
Keep the dark line in the blue band of Blue Coast at roughly eye level, about 150 cm from the floor. In a bathroom, hang it away from the shower and steam. Clean the strokes of Blue Coast with a soft dry brush, without water.
Is Blue Coast a good gift?
Blue Coast is a fresh gift for someone who loves the sea, the coast and blue, for a bathroom or a new flat; 40 x 70 and 50 x 85 cm also fit between two windows. If you are not sure which size of Blue Coast is right, give a gift voucher.
