Description
Transition – five gold tiles in a teal band
Wall art layers peach-orange over teal and turquoise and then over deep cobalt, and no boundary between them ever hardens into a line: modern painting that works as a window of colour rather than as a scene. Five gold-ochre squares are set into the teal band, and they are the one part of the canvas with a hard edge.
Technique and texture
The bands are thin overlapping layers that flow together while wet until the join disappears. The tiles are the opposite — laid thickly, edge kept sharp, so they stand above the plane of the colour field. White verticals and horizontals are scratched into the paint around them and hint at a grid.
The motif
The squares are not all the same size and not all at the same height: two sit lower, three higher, which takes the stiffness out of the row. Colour darkens steadily towards the bottom edge, closing in a narrow olive-green strip. Because nothing at all is drawn here, depth comes only from that darkening.
Setting and placement
A transition this quiet reads as a colour field, so it holds a narrower wall than most landscapes would. Bedroom, living room or office — anywhere a cool, ordered accent is wanted.

Transition – sizes, hanging and delivery
Transition, the painting of three colour bands and five gold tiles, is made in 14 square sizes from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Above a 160 cm bed, 110 x 110 cm sits well, over a 150 cm sideboard 100 x 100 cm, and a narrower hallway or office wall needs no more than 70 x 70 cm. For Transition the measure is always about two thirds of the furniture width below.
The peach-orange, turquoise and cobalt are laid by hand, so Transition is a hand-painted canvas and not a print. Choose YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its tiles comes already stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame around the five tiles is not part of the order unless you pick one in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. Transition takes 15–45 days to deliver.
Common questions about Transition
Which size of Transition suits the wall above a bed?
Over a 160 cm bed we suggest 110 x 110 cm, and over a 180 cm bed 120 x 120 cm, so the five gold tiles stay in proportion to the bed.
Is Transition printed or hand-painted?
Transition is hand-painted on canvas. The soft passages between orange, turquoise and cobalt and the thickly laid tiles come from a brush, not a printer.
How long is the wait for Transition in cobalt and turquoise?
Delivery of Transition takes 15–45 days for all 14 sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm.
