Art has this wonderful way of finding its place—not just within a home, but within the stories we tell ourselves about our space, our style, and the emotions we want to evoke. When Viki Thorbjorn, an abstract artist inspired by nature and the human spirit, offered to send me one of her vibrant, expressive pieces, I was instantly intrigued. Art isn’t just decoration; it’s a conversation, a moment captured in colour and form, a reflection of both the artist and the home it resides in.
When the piece arrived, a stunning A2-sized canvas print, I felt an instant connection. With its deep moody blues, fiery reds, and soft washes of grey and green, there’s something about the movement in Viki’s work that makes you pause. It isn’t static; it flows, it draws you in, and it asks you to linger a little longer.
In person, the texture and detail are even more captivating than I expected. delicate speckles of gold, and the fluid black lines running throughout give it a sense of depth and rhythm. It’s the kind of artwork that feels different depending on the light, the time of day, and—perhaps most importantly—the mood you bring to it.
One of the best things about abstract art is its versatility. Unlike figurative or representational pieces, which often have a clear subject matter, abstract art molds itself to the space it inhabits. It doesn’t dictate; it collaborates.
I played around with different placements in my home, testing how it interacted with the atmosphere of each room. Against a soft pink wall, it radiated warmth and intimacy. Against dark wood panelling, it took on a dramatic, almost cinematic quality. I finally settled on a space that allowed it to be a focal point—a moment of artistry that enhances the surrounding decor without overwhelming it.
Abstract art has a unique way of pulling a space together, and Viki’s piece is no exception. Whether your home leans towards Scandinavian minimalism, boho chic, or even mid-century modern, a bold abstract work can serve as the perfect counterbalance. In my case, it complemented the deep emerald tones in my furnishings and brought a sense of dynamism to an otherwise structured room.
If you’re considering adding an abstract piece to your home, here are a few design tips:
Beyond the visual impact of her work, what makes this piece truly special is the artist herself. Viki Thorbjorn’s passion for evoking joy, positivity, and serenity through her paintings is evident in every brushstroke. Her Scandinavian influence, combined with a love for the expressive and organic, results in works that feel both powerful and calming—a balance that’s not easy to achieve.
I’m incredibly grateful for this beautiful addition to my home. It’s more than just a painting; it’s a reminder of how art can transform a space, spark inspiration, and shift energy. If you’re looking for a statement piece that breathes life into your interiors, I can’t recommend exploring Viki’s work enough. You can check out her full collection at Viki’s website.
Art is deeply personal, and choosing the right piece isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about feeling. Viki’s artwork doesn’t just fill a space; it changes it. It reminds me that home is a canvas too—one that we shape with the pieces that move us, inspire us, and make us pause.
So, if you’re looking to introduce a little more emotion, depth, and vibrancy into your home, maybe it’s time to fall in love with abstract art. And who knows? The perfect piece might be waiting for you, just as this one was waiting for me.
Transform the outside of your into a serene and stylish outdoor living space that reflects your personal style.
The bedroom is key when you want to create a home you truly love. Sometimes, all it needs is a quick refresh to keep it feeling cosy and inviting.
The technique we've fallen in love with: Colour blocking. Bring two (or more) bold colours together for a vibrant, open space.
