Introducing a unique assortment of wall papers designed by a collection of established, contemporary artists.
Artist Ekaterina Panikanova creates detailed layered ink and acrylic paintings using vintage books and other documents as her canvas, resulting in artwork that blurs the lines between painting, installation and collage.
Our Biblioteca Wallpaper Mural 4 design is a unique and eye catching wallpaper design and features an eclectic mix of vintage open books and pages adorned with beautiful illustrations.
Ekaterina Panikanova feels passionately about the subject of her artworks featuring books as capsules of memory, carrying with them the history of their former readers. She spends time reading all the books she collects before deciding how to arrange them and whether or not to paint or print on them. Among those featured in her design are manuscripts and journals which really capture a little bit of history. Intriguingly, her design is peppered with symbols which become metaphors for various concepts. For example, she uses antlers to convey animal instinct and a pie to represent tradition and the rules of society.
The Mural comes in 3 drops of 3.30m x 48.7cm. Apply to the middle of the wall and on each side you can add a roll of wallpaper that contains just the books.
Perfect for a statement wall and makes for a great conversation at the dinner table.
Preparation: no need to apply paste to the paper, simply apply paste to the wall.
