Frame Color

Add a modern coastal art accent to your space with this square framed art print — a ready-to-hang framed wall art piece that blends minimalist design, nautical themes, abstract art, water, and water sports, in a minimalist style. Featuring a black silhouette of a man in a kayak boat navigating abstract water, this contemporary framed art print captures the spirit of outdoor adventure with calming, design-forward aesthetics.

With its blend of organic, abstract shapes and a serene colour palette of pastel blue, teal, gray, sandy beige, and off-white, this framed art print evokes the rhythm and energy of a river, rapids, or open sea. The striking contrast between the small kayaker and the expansive water creates a powerful sense of scale and introspection.

Hand-painted with gouache, acrylic, collage, and drawing techniques, this Canadian artwork draws inspiration from Quebec’s waterways — from Montreal’s Lachine Canal to the St. Lawrence River.

Perfect for coastal homes, modern interiors, and anyone who appreciates minimalist, nautical, or nature-inspired framed wall art - ready to hang, and add some flow to your wall decor.

Inspirations

This artwork was inspired by the deep connection Canadians feel with the outdoors during the fleeting summer months. After long winters, there's a collective urge to be outside—to paddle along rivers, swim in lakes, explore canals, and simply bask in the greenery and light. Water becomes a constant presence, whether it’s kayaking at sunrise, drifting through rivers or sitting quietly by shore. These moments of stillness and movement, of solitude within vast natural spaces, are what I wanted to express. The small figure in the kayak is a reflection of that feeling—how humbling and peaceful it is to be surrounded by the flow of nature. This piece is a tribute to those golden summer days when time slows down, and every ripple, breeze, and reflection feels like something to hold on to.
