Artwork Description
The Open Distance is a hand-painted abstract landscape oil painting that pairs a broad sandy field with distant blue mountains and a pale, clouded sky. Scattered burgundy and olive marks bring quiet variation to its richly textured vertical composition.
The horizon sits high on the canvas, leaving much of the painting devoted to open foreground. This spacious arrangement gives the landscape an expansive character and draws attention to the tactile surface of the land.
A narrow range of deep teal-blue peaks stretches across the upper portion. Their angular silhouettes establish a clear sense of distance while providing a cool contrast to the warm beige below.
Raised strokes follow the mountain contours, creating layered ridges within the dark blue. These small changes in relief give the distant forms definition without introducing intricate detail.
Above the mountains, pale blue-gray fills the sky. Broken cream and soft yellow passages suggest drifting clouds, keeping the upper canvas light and gently animated.
A thicker band of ivory gathers just above the peaks. Its irregular edge softens the transition between sky and mountain, adding luminosity along the horizon.
The foreground unfolds in warm sand, muted ochre, and creamy beige. Closely related shades give this broad area depth while preserving its open, understated appearance.
Fine ridges and uneven paint layers travel across the field in intersecting directions. Their irregular pattern creates a weathered, earthlike surface that rewards a closer look.
Deep burgundy marks appear at intervals from the middle distance to the lower canvas. Their loosely clustered shapes suggest scattered blooms or vegetation while remaining abstract enough to invite interpretation.
Olive-green passages become more concentrated near the bottom. These broken areas of color form a loose foreground band, balancing the darker mountain line above.
The burgundy and green accents vary in size, density, and placement. This uneven distribution introduces a natural rhythm across the sandy ground, allowing the eye to move through the open space.
The painting combines broad palette knife applications with smaller scraped gestures. Smooth color passages sit beside pronounced ridges, giving the restrained landscape a substantial tactile presence.
From across a room, The Open Distance reads as a calm meeting of earth and sky. Closer viewing reveals the layered marks, subtle tonal changes, and expressive accents that give the simplified scene its character.
Its vertical format suits a living room, bedroom, entryway, or study. The warm neutral field pairs comfortably with linen upholstery, natural wood, woven baskets, and softly finished stone.
Modern organic, Southwestern, and contemporary rustic interiors complement its earthy palette and distant mountain forms. Blue-gray textiles can echo the sky, while olive or burgundy accessories draw out the smaller accents without competing with the spacious composition.
Each painting is individually hand-painted, allowing subtle variations in brushwork, texture, and color transitions that make every artwork unique.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, answered.
Clear details, so you can choose with confidence.
Are Viarteart paintings printed?
No. Our paintings are made by hand on canvas, with real brushwork rather than printed reproduction. Depending on the design, our artists may use oils, acrylics, and texture mediums. If you would like exact materials for a specific artwork, please ask before ordering.
Can I request a different size or color?
We offer custom sizing and color adjustments for many paintings. Contact our team with your preferences before placing an order.
Will I see my finished painting before it ships?
Yes. We send photos for your review after painting is complete. You can request minor adjustments before approving the finished work for framing and shipping.
How long does production and delivery take?
Hand-painting and drying generally take 7–14 days. We then send photos for your approval before framing and dispatch. Delivery after dispatch usually takes about 5–7 business days, depending on destination and carrier. Approval changes and transit delays can extend the total timeline, so delivery dates are estimates rather than guarantees.
What if my painting arrives damaged?
Please contact us with your order number and photos of the artwork, outer packaging, and shipping label. We'll review the issue and arrange an appropriate solution under our damage protection policy.
What if I need to return my painting?
Eligible orders may be returned within 30 days of receipt, subject to our returns policy. Customized orders may have different conditions. Please review our return policy for details.

The quality of the art was better than I expected. It's absolutely an amazing piece of artwork. Thank you.
the customer service team was wonderful throughout the whole process. After several small changes I’m very happy with the work. However, as the impasto paint is quite thick, I would strongly recommend it is shipped as stretched canvas (like mine was) or the paint will crack if sent rolled.
The item was as described, thought the waves would be thicker in depth, but it looks nice in our LR.

Its still at DHL. There's trouble on my end here.
Ocean Whisper – Hand-Painted Textured Coastal Waves Oil Painting
We just moved into our new house and had a huge blank wall for weeks. This finally made the space feel finished.
I struggled to pick a color, but this one looks great with my furniture.
5 stars! I’d recommend it.
The painting itself is lovely, but I wish the canvas stretched a bit tighter on the wooden frame. It’s slightly loose on one side but not too noticeable.
really nice workmanship. Better than expected.
Bought as a gift. It was a huge hit!
Simple, clean, and exactly the kind of look I wanted.
It looks exactly like the listing photos. The texture is great. The hanging hardware on the back was slightly crooked, but easy to fix.
Packed very securely. No damage.
Great material and feels premium.
Exceeded expectations. Found my new favorite shop.
Very artistic. I love this style.
Colors are rich and the canvas is tight on the frame stretcher. There’s a tiny smudge of pencil on the back wood, front is perfect.
Stunning vibrant colors. It brought so much life to our boring dining room wall. Already got a compliment from a neighbor.
really beautiful work! The cardboard corner protectors were a nice touch in the package. No scratches at all.
Took about two weeks to arrive in Seattle, but the craftsmanship is undeniable. The brushwork and texture feel much more substantial than mass-market wall art.
Good item, arrived safely in a timely manner. The back staples are a bit messy but the artwork itself is in great condition.
Exactly as described on the store. Adds a nice sophisticated touch to our guest bedroom. Our visitors always notice it.
Very happy with this piece for our dining room. The paint gives off a slight odor initially but went away after venting it out.
Super pretty, exactly as pictured.
Great packaging and fast delivery.
Love it. really nice quality.
Perfect! I’d recommend it.
Out of all the brands I looked at, Viarteart had the most unique vibe.
Good communication from the store when I asked about transit updates. Arrived safely and looks amazing over the mantel.
Exceeded what I expected for this price point. It’s an actual oil painting, you can feel the paint. Shipped very securely to Miami.
The packaging was incredibly secure. in great condition canvas. The impasto technique used gives it so much life and dimension.
Took forever to ship out, almost a week before it even scanned at the carrier facility. The art itself is fine, but be prepared to wait.
Really good art. Sturdy wooden frame behind the stretched canvas. A little difficult to hang by myself due to the size, but great.
The colors are slightly darker than the picture on my phone, but the brushwork is beautiful. Arrived in about 6 days to Texas.
A solid 4 stars. The wood frame could be a tiny bit heavier, but the canvas painting itself is gorgeous. Easy to hang.
Shipping was quick to Ohio. The artwork was wrapped in heavy duty bubble wrap. It looks incredibly elegant over our piano.
Pretty good painting. There’s a tiny spot where the paint looks a bit thick, but nobody notices it unless they are an inch away.
Perfectly stretched canvas, very neat on the back. Came with all the hardware needed to mount it on drywall. Good experience overall.
The painting quality is great, but the package required a signature and the carrier didn't ring my bell, had to drive to the depot to get it.

Born 1990, NIGERIA
Kemi Adebayo is a contemporary African artist whose work is rooted in emotion, identity, and personal narrative. Through bold strokes and layered textures, she explores the unspoken experiences that shape human connection and self-expression.

Color plays a central role in her work — not as decoration, but as language, conveying intensity, memory, and voice.
