Stombury Artwork

We do not recommend placing this mixed media painting in high-moisture areas. While contemporary and stylish, the materials used in mixed media art are sensitive to humidity, which can cause warping of the substrate or damage to the textured surface. This piece is best suited for climate-controlled environments like a living room, bedroom, or home office.

To achieve a balanced look, designers often follow the "proportionality rule," which suggests wall art should span roughly 60% to 75% of the furniture's width. While this 30-inch wide piece is a perfect focal point for an entryway console or a loveseat, it may appear underscaled if hung alone over a large 80-inch sofa. For larger seating areas, we recommend pairing this artwork with a similar piece or flanking it with sconces to better fill the horizontal space.

A 1.5-inch depth indicates a "gallery wrap" or high-profile frame, which allows the artwork to stand out significantly from the wall. This creates a three-dimensional presence and allows the painting to cast subtle shadows, enhancing its status as a focal point in the room. This depth is a hallmark of professional-grade contemporary decor and eliminates the need for an external frame.

Mixed media artwork is characterized by the use of multiple materials and techniques to create physical texture and visual depth that a standard flat print cannot achieve. This specific 30"x30" painting features a sophisticated layering of black, beige, and gray tones, providing a tactile quality that adds a high-end, curated feel to contemporary interiors.

Based on our expertise with these materials, we recommend using only a soft, dry microfiber duster or cloth to remove surface dust. It is critical to avoid using water, glass cleaners, or any chemical solvents, as moisture can penetrate the layered mixed media elements and cause the pigments to bleed or the textures to delaminate over time.

To mirror the look of a professional gallery, you should follow the "57-inch rule." This involves hanging the artwork so its center point is exactly 57 to 60 inches from the floor, which is the average human eye level. Given the square 30-inch dimensions of this piece, the top of the artwork should typically sit about 72 to 75 inches from the ground to ensure it feels grounded and intentional within your space.
