World in the Clouds Skyline by Kristjana S Williams

£890.00

World skyline wall art print based on Kristjana’s work for the Rio Olympics in 2016. This very architectural skyline comes to life with iconic buildings from the Olympic cities: Athens, Barcelona, Atlanta, Beijing, Sydney and Rio, and looking forward to Tokyo 2020. Singapore also gets to sneak in, it is where Kristjana would like to see the Olympics held one day.

Growing up in Iceland, where there are very few tall buildings, the impact that big city skyline have on Kristjana was massive. She is truly inspired by the major cities of  the word, and working on maps ad city themed artwork like skylines, is a passion of hers.

 


Story Behind the Artwork

London skyline designed in 2017, based on Kristjana’s first ever skyline print edition. This very architectural wall art skyline features iconic buildings and landmarks of the great city of London. Kristjana brings it to life with old cockney rhyming slang and old existing road names in London. Some of them build up the financial area of London as it is today and others simply had interesting names, like the very sad gin lane.

Growing up in Iceland, where there are very few tall buildings, the impact the London skyline had on Kristjana was massive. She is truly inspired by this great city, and working on London themed artwork is a passion of hers.

The Artist Bio

 

KRISTJANA S WILLIAMS

Icelandic born artist Kristjana S Williams studied graphic design and illustration at Central St Martins, and quickly gained critical acclaim as Creative Director of 'Beyond the Valley', a position she held for eight years.  In 2011 she began creating fine art pieces as well as illustrating books and designing interior items.  Her designs are inspired by nature, and her technique involves digitally and physically layering nature upon nature to mirror the symmetry that exists in all living things.  Each piece is its own magical universe of exotic botanicals and vibrant animals.

Described by the New York Times as part of the ‘new antiquarian movement’, Kristjana’s three dimensional original work, Limited Edition prints and interior products feature Victorian engravings, which the artist has blended with verdant and exotic flora and fauna to stunning effect.  Animals and insects are intertwined with lavish foliage, layered over ancient shipping maps and antique photographs.  Fantastical new creatures are born, and what Kristjana calls ‘wishful forests’.  These alluringly immersive two and three dimensional tableaus have won Kristjana many international awards including the Pentawards, D&D in book, a Clio Award and first prize in the New York Festivals Grand Prix.

Kristjana’s unique aesthetic, which is both mythical and modern, has led to collaborations with heritage brands such as Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Browns Hotel and Penhaligon's as well as the iconic contemporary marques such as Paul Smith, Victoria & Albert Museum and London’s Shard.

Kristjana lives and works in West London.
