In Soft Calm Aqua Mineral 978, deep calm forms the basis. Cool night blue, greyed denim blue and soft beige nuances flow together to create a calm, clear image. The background in Soft Swing enhances the feeling of airiness and open space, as if looking at a horizon where light slowly shifts and water falls silent.
While painting, the pigment was allowed to set itself free: without tight boundaries, without imposing direction. The organic movements in the paper create a natural layering, a kind of breathing in colour.
This print is a pure example of the Blue Motion 2026 colour family:
Mellow Flow (light blue), Slow Swing (night blue), Free Groove (deep royal blue) and Light Move (soft cloud grey). The combination brings balance, clarity and a gentle mental calm.
It combines beautifully with gold, ochre, dark yellow, moss green, blue purple, blue green, ivory, beige and all kinds of browns.
The work feels at home in Minimalist Modern, Japandi, New Nordic, Wabi Sabi, Boutique Hotel Chic and Coastal Contemporary interiors. The subtle minerality provides warmth without being busy, offering exactly that quiet depth that many spaces crave.
A work of art that doesn't scream, but breathes.
A quiet presence that makes space for calm and clarity.
