The Natural Way of Seeing
Because our eyes are aligned horizontally on our faces, paintings in landscape format corresponds easily with our own field of vision. Above all, the horizontal format is the most suitable for handmade oil paintings of natural landscape, as it offers the artists enough space to create an impression of boundlessness:
Beaches stretch endlessly along a horizontal canvas.
Hand-painted world maps show how vast our world is and yet how closely connected we are.
A blooming field of lavender in Provence glows in purple hues in an acrylic painting.
Artists often opt for dimensions with a ratio greater than 2:1 in order to transpose the vastness of the natural world onto an artwork.
Let your gaze wander
When an acrylic painting is significantly wider than it is tall, you can allow your gaze to wander freely in your living room or office. There is a lot to discover within hand-painted USA motifs, since our artists take delight in representing the famous icons of America on canvas and rousing you and your visitors’ desire for a faraway land. Architectural gems such as the Empire State Building, however, are ideally illustrated in portrait paintings, which has the perfect shape for representing the stunning height of a one-and-only skyscraper. The canvas arrangement is often dependent on the motif and you would have to decide yourself whether the painting is best fit in a particular format.
Variety is the key
If you have the luxury of ample space, you can combine oil or acrylic paintings in both landscape and portrait formats. The two opposite formats do not necessarily clash with each other – a well thought out combination can make them a complimentary pair. And what about decorating your law firm with handmade paintings as well as handcrafted sculptures? You can surely find some inspirations from our new sculptures section and even set up your own trend! Our colours are as varied as the art forms available. Our extravagant artworks can shine in black and white tones, or alternatively you can put up a spectacle of vivid colours in your living room. Your personality should be written into your interior design, and decorations – may these be on the walls or on a surface – are simply an indispensable element of your furniture.
