Frame Color

Inspired by the luxurious coastal beauty of the French Riviera, from Cannes and St. Tropez to Nice and Monaco—(though it could just as easily evoke Capri, the Amalfi Coast, or the Italian Riviera)—this fine art print reflects the elegance, beauty and escapist vibe of European summer living by the sea. This hand painted blue and white framed art print offers a sun-soaked escape to the Mediterranean; perfect on its own or paired as part of a two-piece series, this wooden framed wall art captures the essence of an idyllic summer day relaxing on the beach with a glass of rosé.  

With bold marinière beach stripes and a nautical palette of navy, turquoise, cobalt, sand tones and crisp whites, this painting blends graphic shapes and bold nautical patterns with the relaxed ambiance of an upscale beach club. A chic woman reclines under a sun umbrella, her feet buried in warm sand as she chats with a man hidden just beyond view. A beach hat and a glass of wine nearby hint at leisure and a touch of daytime leisure in quintessential French style. Originally hand-painted in oils and acrylics on canvas, this framed art print showcases the timeless hallmarks of Riviera style—sunlight, serenity, and elegant, timeless beauty, and will infuse your wall decor with perpetual sunshine all year round. 

This ready-to-hang framed wall art brings the crisp sunlight of Mediterranean summers into any space, making it a perfect choice for adding warmth, elegance, and year-round coastal vibes to your home decor. 

Inspirations

This Mediterranean sea painting was inspired by what looked like a flawless, carefree summer day on a Mediterranean beach. That day, I was fully immersed in the Mediterranean lifestyle—having lunch with friends at a beach club overlooking this idyllic scene, just after returning from stand-up paddling. One of our boards had burst in the intense heat, leaving us stranded at an outrageously overpriced seaside restaurant. My friends—an architect and a manager at a well-known hotel group—had just arrived and were settling in to order.

Their starter, an extravagant tempura seafood dish served in an oversized, stunning blue ceramic bowl that echoed the surrounding landscape, arrived alongside chilled white wine. It was then they shared the news: they’d both been laid off due to corporate restructuring. And then, they cried.

The contrast between their grief and the absurdly lavish yet beautiful seafood bowl, set against the serene backdrop of the deep blue sea, graphic beach towels, and pristine white parasols, was striking—both literally and metaphorically. Their tears fell in a setting of almost surreal beauty.

I found myself torn—between consoling my friends and being mesmerized by the hypnotic charm of the Mediterranean: the sunlight playing on the water, the crisp air, the dance of light and shadow across the striped towels and shimmering sea.

To me, this painting captures the tension of living in paradise while life’s harsh realities continue to unfold. Yet, even amid sorrow, the Mediterranean retains its enchantment—achingly beautiful, always sublime. Even through tears.
