Monstera Plant No. 23

by Studio Silver & Sepia

Blue has a special effect on a wall: it has a calming effect. In this series, Monstera leaves are bathed in deep petrol shades and soft turquoise, interspersed with a cream-coloured glow. The effect is reminiscent of a classic blueprint, but with the softness of morning light.

The leaves stand out as dark, elegant shapes against a light, almost dreamlike background. Sometimes you see them from below, high and inviting; sometimes they fade gently into a bedroom-like haze with streaks of light from a window. In one version, the shade is warmer, with a hint of ochre that creates a beautiful contrast with the blue. The gaps in the leaves act as subtle accents, lending the image rhythm and movement.

The texture is fine and slightly grainy, with a soft, handmade feel. The overall effect is cool but not cold, tranquil yet full of life.
