This large modern canvas wall art, hand-painted in black and white letters, combines an inspiring life message with contemporary typography to create a modern monochrome art focal point for your interior decor. At its core is the inspirational quote "Fais de tes rêves ta vie, et de ta vie, un rêve. Signé, la vie".  "Make of your dreams, your life, and of your life, your dreams". The words were hand painted on paper, then cut out using a decoupage technique, and re-assembled in an abstract composition of hidden messages on top of which rests a fish - significant of its rich symbolism of freedom, curiosity and consciousness. 

The black and white abstract wall art on canvas combines hand lettering, typography, paper cutouts and textured layered effects to  add a modern yet timeless elegance to any home decor while accentuating striking contrasts and positive energy, creating a unique focal wall painting for any living room, living space or work environment needing a little love and inspiration. More than just a print, it's a minimalist artwork that invites tactile exploration, adding an extra dimension to your decor, and a smile to your heart. 

Inspirations

The creative inspiration for this minimalist, textured canvas art first came to me on my birthday, while I was on an early morning run in a small town in Europe.

The old town was quiet, I had sea salt in my hair, and I could hear the sounds of birds and the sea behind me, while smelling fresh bread being baked. It was total bliss, and felt an overflowing, magnificent sense of gratitude and wonder. As I turned my head, my eyes fell on this quote, which was handwritten on a wall.

It instantly captured my attention because it mirrored how I felt in that moment: as if I was indeed living in a beautiful dream, filled with wonder, beauty and discovery. I remembered one of my yoga teachers, Rose, in Bali, telling us to go forth to live a "magical life"...and I realized that with clear intent and living from the heart, this dream manifested into my reality, only a few years later. I felt like this inspiring message was a sign for me that I was on the right path. I later found out that this beautiful quote was first written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a French writer who wrote one of my favourite stories, "The Little Prince".

Creative Process

This abstract canvas wall art was originally painted wit black ink and paint on paper. First, I handpainted the beautiful inspirational quote, then I used an exacto knife to create paper cutouts of each painted word. I then re-arranged the versions I liked and created a large minimalist wall art collage composition on painted canvas. In the process, I put all the unused words I had painted and cut out in a pile in my art studio as I was working. When I finished the original painted canvas, I discovered the beauty of the hidden message in the pile of discarded words, in a minimalist mess and I loved that the message was hidden inside, not quite so obvious yet the essence of "vie / life" and "rêve / dream" still came forth through the energy of the contrasts, placement and abstract composition. The intention and message was felt in this black and white typographic abstraction. I photographed it, transferred it digitally into designer software, edited it, and now it is living as a minimalist abstract wall art print on canvas, ready to inspire any home decor, room or wall, and carry the inspirational message within it forwards into your beautiful life and dreams.
