About the artwork

An iconic concept portrait as decorative art for stylish interior design.

This mural tells of a silent negotiation between man and the world. The figure sits collected in the frame; the globe floats behind it like an audible thought. Circle and rectangle, softness and edge, blue and ochre - opposites intertwine and become balance. The graphic make-up shifts the portrait into the iconic, the negative space allows the calm to work. The result is an eye-catcher that organises spaces: not loud, but decisive. The work offers a clear message for modern interiors - concentration, responsibility, focus. It is both a statement and a haven of peace and turns every room into a stage for attitude.

The composition focuses on the tension between circle and rectangle: the globe and frame create a clear, iconic centre. Cool blue tones contrast with earthy accents; the graphic make-up intensifies the lines. Textures - weathered wood, soft fabric, matt skin - add depth. Negative space and portrait format focus the gaze, the pose channels calm and concentration. The result is a contemporary, highly symbolic portrait with a strong interior effect.

Living rooms with modern or Scandinavian interiors; design offices, agencies & consultancies; hotel lobbies & corridors; waiting areas in doctors' surgeries/clinics; co-working spaces; conference rooms; gallery walls,
