A painting with a unique aesthetic
Swedish painting has a long tradition, with a rustic yet elegant aesthetic. It inevitably appeals to lovers of authentic, historic styles.
It lends a Nordic charm to the elements through its traditional deep, rich red pigment. The colour palette is not limited to red, with other pigments including yellow ochre, grey, blue and green. These colours blend harmoniously into outdoor landscapes.
Its matt appearance gives a delicate velvety finish that delights the eye. Looking at an item decorated with Swedish paint gives a sensation of visual and tactile softness.
Sometimes, because of its composition, this paint can have subtle textures. The particles of flour and natural pigments create a slightly irregular surface that blends perfectly with the authenticity of the wood.
