Costales Blue Artwork, Set of 2

This artwork is crafted from tempered glass, which undergoes a specialized heating and cooling process to make it significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than standard glass. In the unlikely event of breakage, tempered glass is designed to crumble into small, granular chunks rather than sharp shards. This makes it an exceptionally safe and durable choice for high-traffic areas of the home, such as entryways or living rooms.

Glass wall art is an excellent solution for humid environments. Unlike canvas or paper prints, which can warp or grow mold when exposed to moisture, tempered glass is non-porous and naturally resistant to humidity. This makes it a perfect contemporary accent for bathrooms, spa areas, or homes in coastal regions. We recommend ensuring the mounting area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture from sitting behind the glass for extended periods.

One of the advantages of this piece is that the artwork is printed on the back of the glass, a method inspired by traditional French techniques. This means the image is completely protected by the glass layer. To maintain the clarity and depth of the blue floral design, simply use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and a standard glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could scratch the front surface of the glass.

For a professional look, we recommend following the "57-inch rule," where the vertical center of the artwork is hung at eye level (57 inches from the floor). Since this is a set of two, you can hang them side-by-side with a 2- to 4-inch gap to create a cohesive horizontal display. With a combined width and spacing of roughly 100 inches, this set is perfectly scaled to anchor a large sofa or a primary bedroom headboard.

The "reverse-printed" technique used for this artwork provides an inherent layer of protection for the pigments, as the tempered glass acts as a barrier against dust and direct contact. While all artwork should ideally be kept out of constant, direct midday sunlight to ensure long-term vibrancy, glass prints are generally more resilient to environmental fading than traditional paper-based art.

The free-floating, frameless design allows the artwork to sit slightly away from the wall, creating a modern, minimalist silhouette. This lack of a visible frame emphasizes the depth of the glass and allows the blue floral X-ray image to appear as if it is suspended in space. This style is particularly effective in contemporary or transitional spaces where you want the focus to remain entirely on the art itself rather than the mounting.

Yes, safety is a primary benefit of this set’s tempered glass construction. Beyond its increased durability, the frameless, free-floating design eliminates heavy frames that could potentially loosen or catch. The two pre-attached steel hangers on the back of each piece provide a secure, flush-to-wall mount, ensuring the artwork remains stable even in a busy household with kids or pets.
