The Other Riviera – Liguria | Italy Art Print

Inspired by years of exploring Italy’s Mediterranean coastline, The Other Riviera – Liguria is a colourful Italy art print bringing together memories of Liguria, Cinque Terre and the Amalfi Coast in one imagined coastal landscape.

Originally painted by hand on canvas, the artwork blends colourful Italian fishing villages, geometric architecture, small boats and luminous blue water with the dramatic seaside landscapes of places such as Portofino, Manarola, Riomaggiore, Positano and Amalfi. Rather than depicting one destination, it reimagines the Italian coastline through memories gathered across many journeys.

The modern, graphic composition combines simplified architectural forms with the visible texture and warmth of a hand-painted canvas. Turquoise and deep Mediterranean blues meet terracotta, coral, sandy beige, yellow and teal, capturing the colour, light and rhythm of an Italian summer by the sea.

A contemporary take on the classic Italy travel poster, this art print is made for those drawn to Amalfi Coast art, Cinque Terre prints, Italian Riviera wall art, Mediterranean landscapes and colourful modern travel art. It brings a little of the dolce vita and European summer home.

Inspirations

The Other Riviera – Liguria grew from years of travelling along the Italian coast by car, scooter, boat and on foot. My memories of Liguria, Cinque Terre and the Amalfi Coast gradually began to overlap: colourful villages climbing from the sea, sunlit façades, tiny boats, steep cliffs and that unmistakable Mediterranean light.

Rather than paint a specific location, I brought these fragments together into an imagined Italian landscape — somewhere between Portofino and Manarola, Riomaggiore and Positano, Liguria and Amalfi. It reflects the way travel stays with me: places slowly merging into one emotional memory of being there.

Creative Process

During my travels to Italy, I sketched landscapes and coastlines of the Amalfi and Liguria regions in my travel sketchbook, while also taking pictures and videos to document colours and moods. I then blended key aesthetic elements into one composition: rolling hills, clifftop villages, colourful houses and winding roads overlooking the changing blues of the sea below by drawing with pencil on canvas.

I then hand painted my re-interpreted Italian landscape on canvas using acrylic paint, oil pastels and markers. Separately, I hand painted the windows, people and boats on separate heavy paper, then manually cut the individual elements using decoupage techniques, before collaging them onto the painted canvas art.

A final varnish was added to the mixed media artwork on canvas to preserve the vibrancy of the colours.
