Before the camera was invented, illustrations were used to depict reality. Illustrators were hired, among other things, to paint maps, draw species in books, and depict various objects. Back then, it was important to accurately and correctly represent reality as best as possible.  

Even though illustrations in the past were more of a necessity, the use of realistic paintings has not decreased. The beauty of hand-painted motifs is the human and lively touch, which is difficult to achieve in other ways. You rarely need to visit many homes before you come across an illustration depicting something from our real world. An example is our popular botanical posters, which depict flowers in a lifelike manner. Peonies and Bouquet are two excellent examples!  

Let your mind wander with Illustration posters

Illustrations also come in abstract forms. By working with the vague elements in the illustrations, we can let our brains fill in the gaps and create their own associations. The diffuse motifs can reach deep into our subconscious. With room to let our own imagination find connections among experiences and feelings, the motifs can recall a pleasant memory, or allow us to experience a soothing sensation. Feel free to check out our poster Waves and Gold, with abstract shapes and graphic elements, which may evoke thoughts of a rolling sea. Do you feel the fresh sea breeze on your skin?  

Feel free to mix posters with illustrations and photos!  

Can't decide if you like illustrations or photos the most? No problem – find a common thread and mix freely based on theme, color, or motif. Do you love blue? Choose some blue posters that you like and use them in a personal poster wall. Or can't you get enough of dogs? Combine illustrations and photos of dogs – it can never be too much! 

When you've found your favorites, we can suggest matching the posters with our frames. A black metal frame is a safe choice that goes well with all interior styles. Or choose an oak frame, which creates a warm and genuine feeling.
