Marea di Sabbia e Neve

I open with the Marea di Sabbia e Neve wallpaper, a landscape that belongs to the desert genre and gives back, in a single continuous image, the pale dunes of the Great Sand Dunes rolling beneath the snow-covered peaks of the Sangre de Cristo range.

In the nearest register, ivory and ochre sand ripples in parallel lines cut by the wind; higher up, the crests of the dunes cast long oblique shadows, while on the horizon the rock wall rises dark and jagged, marked by veins of snow lodged in the gullies. The sky, almost colourless, lets the composition breathe, and the eye runs sideways along the lines of the wind without ever meeting an obstacle.

I look at this desert and find in it the patience of matter: the sand that bends and rises again, time that carves without haste, the mountain that stands still while everything around it moves. It is a landscape that speaks of silence and of measure, of a space that asks nothing except to be crossed by the eye.

At WallZad we choose to translate this vastness into a Marea di Sabbia e Neve wallpaper able to stay faithful to the natural light of the scene, printed across a whole wall so that the room itself becomes horizon. Every detail, from the grain of the sand to the vein of snow, is made to hold the eye close up as much as from a distance.
