Description
Ingenious use of raised image and the resulting shadow draw you right into Ulyana Hammond's cool, calm seascape. Highlighted by the clean white of cottages and clouds, her palette mixes stormy greys and cool blues with gentle pastel yellows. Ulyana Hammond was born in 1981 in St Petersburg, one of the most beautiful cities in Russia, known for its outstanding architecture. These wonderful surroundings were a great source of inspiration to her as she grew up to appreciate the historical riches around her. While studying traditional art and sculpture at university, Ulyana spent many hours sketching and perfecting her art, discovering this rewarding outlet for her passion of painting contrasting shape and colours. Returning to St Peterburg to see family, the trip brought all her childhood memories flooding back. This beautiful city continues to influence her work. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I really like this blue and multi framed print for its calming, versatile vibe. The colour palette is flexible enough to work in a variety of schemes, from coastal or Scandinavian-inspired interiors to more contemporary spaces that could benefit from a splash of colour. It works particularly well above a sofa or console table, where it can bring a sense of tranquillity to a room. For practical styling, consider pairing it with pared-back accessories or other neutral artworks to let the piece stand out, and keep framing simple to maintain its modern appeal. Its clean lines and soothing tones make it a great addition wherever you want to inject a visual point of interest without overwhelming the space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
