Provence Window with Pastel Shutters and Lavender 💜

Wall Art Prints: matthias-hauser.pixels.com/featured/pro...

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #window

A charming French country window framed by weathered turquoise shutters and lace curtains. Soft lavender and purple blooms spill from a terracotta planter, their color playing against sun-washed stone and layers of patina.

The scene feels timeless—warm, romantic, and gently worn by Mediterranean light.

Lovely for kitchens, entryways, breakfast nooks, or a garden-themed hallway. Pair with natural wood or white frames and textiles in sage, cream, lilac, or soft teal to echo the Provençal palette.

Great for admirers of cottagecore, rustic farmhouse charm, vintage architecture, and serene floral vignettes.

Inner Peace - Serene Buddha 🖤

Wall Art Prints: matthias-hauser.pixels.com/featured/ser...

#buddha #peace #peaceful #meditation #calm #art

A close, tactile portrait of a weathered Buddha face: charcoal stone softened by age, speckled with warm gold leaf, eyes gently closed. Soft, directional light deepens the textures and carves a calm, contemplative mood—minimal, serene, and quietly luminous.

This artwork settles beautifully in living rooms that lean organic and modern, bedrooms designed for rest, or entryways where a tranquil first impression matters. It also suits meditation corners, yoga studios, spas, therapy rooms, and boutique hotel lobbies, where the subtle gold and stone textures add warmth without visual noise.

Ideal for mindfulness practitioners, yoga lovers, wellness brands, interior stylists, spa owners, and collectors of Asian-inspired art who want a refined focal piece that radiates calm and timeless presence.

Coral Blush Blossoms ❤️

Wall Art Prints: matthias-hauser.pixels.com/featured/cor... 🤍

#flowers #spring #art

A bouquet of airy blossoms unfurls across warm ivory, painted with raised impasto petals in shades of blush, coral, and vivid crimson. Inky, lyrical stems and light splashes give the piece a fresh, spontaneous feel, while the subtle linen canvas texture adds tactility and depth.

The mood is bright and uplifting—spring energy distilled into a modern floral. It suits minimalist, Scandinavian, or Japandi-inspired spaces and pairs beautifully with natural wood or matte black frames for a clean gallery look.

Perfect as a statement piece above a sofa or bed, or as a soft color accent in an entryway, studio, or dining nook.

Hummingbird dream.

Enchanting image of a tiny iridescent hummingbird approaching a red hibiscus. The flower's stigma heavy with frothy golden stamen beckons enticingly to the tiny creature.

These delightful and irrepressible birds never fail to enchant me as they dart about my garden like winged jewels, their wings whirring as they buzz past. I'm usually successful in tempting them to nest nearby by placing multiple feeders around my yard, but I have yet to achieve the holy grail of hummingbird success - getting them to eat from a handheld feeder - perhaps one day!

Abstract Art - Pastel Spring Bloom 💚
Wall Art Prints: matthias-hauser.pixels.com/featured/abs... 💛
#abstract #abstractart #spring #pastel #art

Thick, creamy brushstrokes sweep across the canvas in blush pinks, soft peaches, frosty mints and sky blues. Palette-knife ridges catch the light, suggesting petals and movement while staying delightfully abstract.

The effect is airy, feminine, and luminous—energy and softness in perfect balance.

Works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, entryways, spas, and boutique hotels. Pair with a slim matte-white or natural oak frame for a fresh, modern feel, or choose a canvas or glossy metal print to amplify the sculptural texture and pearly highlights.

Ideal for collectors who love modern abstracts with rich texture, pastel color stories, and uplifting pieces that bring calm, romance, and a hint of spring to any space.

Wall Art Prints: matthias-hauser.pixels.com/featured/abs... 🤍

#abstract #abstractart #winter #coastal #art

Layered bands of slate blue, teal, blush, and warm taupe glide across the canvas with quiet gold accents. The textured surface and soft, feathered seams hint at a distant shoreline and winter light without ever leaving the language of abstraction.

The mood is calm and elegant—cool coastal tones balanced by subtle metallic warmth. Clean geometry and a refined palette make this piece easy to style across modern and minimalist interiors.

Works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, offices, spas, and boutique hotels. Pair with a slim matte-black or natural wood frame for a soft, contemporary look, or choose a metal print to amplify the delicate shimmer in the gold passages.

Ideal for collectors of modern abstracts, serene coastal palettes, and premium décor that adds harmony without visual clutter.

The warm colored wood of the window frame and bench with its green cushion, compliment the yellow ochre rag painted walls. Anyone who's ever lived with a cat can appreciate the alert body stance, cocked head and curled tails as these fascinating creatures observe the movement outside.

Deer in Nara, Japan. The vendor is selling deer crackers 😃
Wall Art Prints: matthias-hauser.pixels.com/featured/pat... ❤️
#deer #nara #japan #funny #humor

"Five deer crackers, please! Oh, is there a discount available?" Funny Animal Art.

In this black and white photograph captured in Nara, Japan, a deer stands attentively before a lone vendor seated under a parasol. The vendor is selling shika senbei—the traditional deer crackers beloved by the city's freely roaming deer. The moment feels almost cinematic: a quiet negotiation unfolding between species, steeped in mutual patience and gentle curiosity.

The surrounding path lies empty, framed by tall trees and soft light filtering through the canopy, emphasizing the intimacy of the interaction. This quiet tableau of coexistence beautifully captures Nara’s unique harmony between humans and wildlife.

Perfect for minimalist interiors, travel-themed decor, or peaceful reading nooks. Ideal for collectors of Japanese street photography, black and white imagery, or scenes that blend everyday life with cultural tradition.
