Painterly Poppies is inspired by….uhm….poppies, you guessed it. Most of all the magnificence of their unruly curling stems. Brought to you in a very loose oil-painterly style.
Each image can be framed any which way up, giving you lots of options to play with: growing up for a more traditional style, upside down or sideways wonderful when paired with abstract or typography prints!
This lilac version features 5 intertwined stems of poppies with pale pink and cream petals. The bold lilac backdrop gives these blooms are super contemporary twist.
Lilac, warm mauve, soft peach, blush pink, and deep forest green – these are the colours doing the work here, and together they pull in two directions at once: cool and dreamy in the purple tones, warm and alive in the peachy blush. That duality makes this print surprisingly versatile on the wall. The lilac and mauve tones sit in the cool-purple family, so a wall painted in a muted dusty lavender or a soft grey-lilac will wrap around the print in a tonal, harmonious way that feels intentional rather than matching. For contrast, the peach and blush petals carry a warm undertone that responds well to a wall in warm off-white or the palest terracotta, colours that bring the flowers forward without fighting the cooler background. If your walls are already a neutral, lean towards one with a slightly pinkish or greyed undertone rather than a yellow-leaning cream, which would flatten the lilac entirely. In terms of style, this print sits naturally in maximalist, botanical, and art nouveau-inflected interiors, as well as the kind of loose, colour-forward contemporary space where a brushstroke is considered furniture. It would be at home above a bedroom dresser, in a bathroom with good natural light, or leaning against the wall of a reading corner. This print belongs to the Painterly Poppies collection – inspired by the magnificence of poppies’ unruly, curling stems and painted in a loose oil-painterly style – and it pairs well with other prints from the collection for a layered gallery wall. It makes a considered gift for anyone who loves flowers beyond the predictable.
The print is made using archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture and a matte, glare-free surface that sits quietly in a room rather than demanding light at a particular angle – a quality that suits both slim contemporary frames and more ornate vintage ones equally well. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) or A3 (29.7 × 42 cm), it works tucked onto a shelf or as part of a gallery arrangement where the sinuous stems can play off neighbouring pieces. An A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) brings enough presence to hold a wall on its own, particularly somewhere intimate like a bedroom or hallway. At A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) the looseness of the brushwork really opens up, and the full stems become a proper feature. The largest size, A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm), anchors a room entirely – a living room or generous landing where the lilac background can breathe. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
