Oil painting wallpapers

Palette-knife texture that still reads when it fills a 27-inch screen.

Every artwork in this shop is built as an oil painting rather than a photograph or a digital illustration. The working method is palette knife rather than brush: paint laid on in flat planes and thick ridges, with the mark of the blade left visible instead of blended away.

The practical effect on a screen is texture that survives scale. Photographic wallpapers get worse the bigger the display — you start seeing sensor noise and compression. Painted surfaces get better, because what you are looking at is supposed to have grain and relief.

Subjects, not abstracts

These are representational paintings — cars, cities, courts, still lifes, film moments — handled in a painterly way, rather than abstract colour fields. The subject stays legible and sharp while the surroundings carry most of the texture, which is what keeps a busy painting usable as a background you actually work on top of.
