Pelicanana is a fun painterly piece that was inspired by my recent bedroom interior redecoration…..which was inspired by bananas and pelicans!
This pale pink pelican balancing a banana on its bill is quite the eye-catcher and makes for an elegant yet playful focal art piece. The bigger the better!
Soft coral-pink, warm cream, dusty sage and muted terracotta give this print a palette that sits firmly in the warm, peachy-neutral register – with the ripe yellow of the banana adding a quiet pop of contrast. Those warm undertones mean it settles happily against walls painted in off-white with a pink or peach cast, or in a deeper warm putty or pale terracotta that echoes the pelican’s rosy plumage without competing with it. For a little more tension, a muted sage or dusty eucalyptus green picks up the background’s cooler shadows and the subtle sage lettering – an analogous move that keeps the overall mood calm rather than jarring. The pelican’s unhurried dignity combined with its quietly absurd banana gives the image a personality that is both refined and gently playful, making it a natural fit for eclectic, maximalist, coastal or Scandi-boho interiors. It belongs equally well in a bright kitchen or a relaxed living room, above a reading chair or along a hallway where something with wit and warmth is needed at eye level. This print is part of the Fur & Feathers collection – a series that celebrates, as the artist puts it, the "innate charm" of birds and animals "captured through a lens of playful creativity" – and it pairs beautifully with other prints from that collection for a gallery wall that feels curated rather than matched. It would make a thoughtful gift for a bird lover, a lover of coastal art, or anyone furnishing a room that deserves a little character.
The print is produced with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture and a matte, glare-free finish that reads as quietly luxurious up close. That surface works with slim white or natural wood frames as readily as it does with an ornate gilded or aged metal frame, flattering both without any reflective interference. The A4 size suits a shelf lean, a bedside table arrangement or a smaller gallery wall grouping; A3 and A2 come into their own as standalone statement pieces above a desk or console, where the pelican’s composed stance reads clearly across a room; A1 and A0 have the presence to anchor a full wall – a dining room or generous hallway in particular – letting the warm palette wash gently into the surrounding space. This artwork is also available as a 28×40" (70×100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang with no frame needed.
