it work is a unique, artisanal reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's iconic The Starry Night, presented on a grid of ceramic tiles. The photograph captures the rich texture of the tilework and grout, adding a fascinating, dimensional layer to the famous, swirling brushstrokes. The intense blue and yellow hues of Van Gogh's original emerge powerfully, framed by a decorative blue-and-white floral pattern reminiscent of classic Delftware or Mediterranean tiling.
My inspiration lay in the fusion of art history and craft. I wanted to present the famous painting in a way that is both recognisable and new. The tile structure gives the work an earthy, tactile quality that contrasts with the abstract, cosmic energy of the image.
The atmosphere is one of artistic depth, colour and artisanal charm. It pays homage to a masterpiece, but in a modern, decorative format.
This piece is exceptional in kitchens, bathrooms, or in interiors that appreciate an eclectic mix of classical art and decorative design. It adds an instant dose of cultural familiarity and vibrant colour to the space.
"Swirling beauty; Van Gogh's cosmic dream captured in the tangible, artistic order of tile and craft."
