Part of an ongoing series of paintings based on maps and Google Earth pictures, this original oil on canvas takes inspiration from the artist's time teaching art in Somalia. Philip Maltman is an abstract artist shortlisted for the John Moores Painting Prize. Born in Ayrshire, a historic county on the coast of Scotland, he is known for exploring the littoral zone through his work - the area of shoreline where the sea meets the land.
I love this piece because it brings a vibrant, contemporary energy to any space. It works particularly well in modern or eclectic interiors, where bold colour and abstract forms shine. To style Somalia 4 effectively, consider pairing it with minimalist furnishings to let the artwork stand out, or incorporate some of its colours into cushions or throws to create a cohesive look. Practical tips include positioning it at eye level in a living room or bedroom, where it can be appreciated as a focal point, and ensuring good lighting-either natural or spotlights-to really make the colours pop. Overall, it’s a versatile piece that can elevate both neutral and colour-rich interiors.
