Description
“Old Aviator II”
The handling is what carries this picture. A vintage propeller aircraft stands across the middle of a wide horizontal canvas, its body broken into competing strokes of cobalt, vermilion, copper and bone-white. The propeller is a rough warm spiral, the cockpit a small bright blue panel, the wing a long horizontal slab. Behind the plane, a thick cloud bank of turquoise and cream tumbles across the upper edge.
The whole canvas is palette-knife throughout — sky, plane and grass treated with the same gestural energy. The eye lands on the engine cowl, follows the wing into the body, and is pulled out into the cloud-cuts. Below the wheels, a band of rust and ochre grass holds the picture down. The plane reads less like a technical study and more like a contemporary still life with mechanical bones.
Color is rich and high-contrast: cobalt and turquoise against rust, vermilion and copper, with chalky ivory breaking up the cloud bank. The clash of warm and cool gives the picture its energy without tipping into noise. Up close the hand-painted oil surface holds real depth — chunky knife planes in the cowl and wing, dragged horizontal pulls in the sky, raised tabs of rust paint where the grass meets the wheels.
This kind of picture sits naturally in modern interiors with a vintage edge — a study, a den lined in warm wood, a games room, a boutique bar or a contemporary office. Pair with leather, oxblood, oat linen and aged brass; a picture light angled from above brings the propeller and engine into full relief and lets the painting glow at the end of the day.
This piece is offered as abstract canvas art, painted to order on stretched canvas.

The handling is what carries this picture. A vintage propeller aircraft stands across the middle of a wide horizontal canvas, its body broken into competing strokes of cobalt, vermilion, copper and bone-white.
Visual cues include clouds, field, and forms. The palette is anchored by blue, brown, and orange.
The expressionism character makes Old Aviator II a natural fit for a game room. It also shows well in a hallway and home office. In commercial spaces, it suits boutique hotel and coworking space.
Color-wise, the piece works with blue, brown, orange, red, and white. Warmth pulls the work into the room — the painting reads inviting first, considered second.
The painter works in oil on stretched canvas, with no division of labour between sketch and finish. Layers of oil build up over the underpainting, so the surface carries visible weight and the brushwork stays legible.
The expressionism character runs through the underpainting, while the impasto feel emerges in the surface passes. The painter closes the cycle on Old Aviator II with standard drying times and a clear final varnish, so the work is built to age well.
Hang the centre 145-155 cm above the floor; that height puts the work at standing eye level. Old Aviator II suits a game room that is built around one piece rather than a collection.
Available sizes: oversized. Pick the size to the wall, not the wall to the size. For Old Aviator II, step back twice the canvas height once it’s hung — the brushwork resolves at that distance.
