Let Art Take You on a Vacation From the Comfort of Your Own Home
If you’re a visual person, you are probably well aware of how your home decor can affect your mood. Through your choice of furniture, fixtures, and artwork, a home has the power to create a unique experience that should inspire you to live your best life, while creating a sanctuary that makes you feel comfortable each and every day.
One of the most powerful tools in decorating is the use of custom artwork pieces. With thousands upon thousands of creatives constantly putting artwork up for sale, it can be both daunting and exciting to select pieces that suit your style and your home. Artwork is more than just a decorative art form - each piece creates an experience that can transport you to a different world for as long as you look at it. By carefully selecting mesmerizing pieces that speak to you, you’re setting yourself (and your visitors) up for endless experiences that create a respite away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
That being said, let’s explore some pieces and the many different types of vacations they can take us on without even leaving our house.
Art That Brings Peace
“3,333ft” 16x16 Acrylic on canvas by Erika Rachel
Erika describes this abstract painting as “what I imagine looking up from 3,333 feet down from the “Midnight Zone” would look like. That place where we’re no longer “foggy”, we’re deep and meditative. It’s dark, it’s nearly silent, and it’s still.” Having this piece inside your home could remind you, with just a glance, to take a deep breath and go to a calm place in your mind, where everything fades into the background. The cool tones bring serenity and peace to the space, and an escape, if you so choose.
Art That Forms A Connection with Nature
“When God Gives You Time Spend it With Nature” 41x49 Acrylic on canvas by Erika Rachel
This painting’s title was chosen because of its ethereal feel and nature mimicking hues, as well as to give credit to a higher being that may grant us enough success to be able to relax. Let this piece relax you when you need a break, take time to admire all of the little details that might be hidden and interpret them how you like. Create your own little world within the art, and let it transport you to a peaceful place in nature, away from the noise of reality.
Art That Takes You on a Journey Across the World
“Rainbow Kimono” by Stefanie Goodman
Fiber arts have been making a scene in the home decor world recently, and with good reason. These intricate pieces are made of interwoven fabrics that can tell a story by way of their process of creation. Stefanie Goodman’s Rainbow Kimono invites visitors into the world of Japanese embroidery, which is interlaced with Chinese metalwork practices. The end result is a piece that is full of history, and details waiting to be explored. Having this piece in your home can transport you to a different continent, and strengthen your understanding and appreciation for Asia’s deep history.
Art That Invokes Self Reflection
“You Are My Everything” 32x34 Acrylic on canvas by Erika Rachel
Art can also serve as a constant reminder. A physical piece that forces you to always remember a message that you don’t want to forget; “You Are My Everything” does just that. Passing by this painting on your way out the door, can, for a split second (or sometimes longer), stop you in your tracks and remind you that you are enough. That you matter. That you are someone’s everything or that someone means everything to you. This can have a huge impact on how you choose to tackle the day. The power of this piece is in its capacity to make you reflect internally, and sometimes, that’s just what we need.
