Atelier Earth

Discover our Art collection by Atelier Earth, founded by Maria Haye and inspired by the wabi-sabi philosophy where one finds beauty in things that are imperfect, transient and incomplete. In the present time, it stands for the beauty of decay. It encourages preserving objects with a history rather than throwing them away. It stands for asymmetry and a ruggedness inherent in natural materials.

The first series of art works, The Elements, is based on the four elements: Water (cohesion and flexibility), Earth (strengths and intransigence), Air (volatility and material emptiness), Fire (destructive yet warm). The artworks in a variety of dimensions are made on cotton canvas, covered with a linen fabric and water based paint, framed in a hand finished wooden frame. Each of the artworks are unique and reflect the (im)perfections of nature. Atelier Earth offers the option of custom items, allowing you to incorporate personalised and unique art into your space.  

Nature remains an important source of inspiration. In addition to The Elements, the Nature Sequence is in development. These commissioned abstract paintings in themes such as soil, clay, and sand can be tailored to your personal wishes and preferences. The artworks can be made in different dimensions and colours on request.
