Holiday flair for your home You might feel a nagging wanderlust pulling you toward the wide world. The next trip is sure to come, but in the meantime, you could already set the holiday scene in your own home with the latest decorative favourites: a short trip to the seaside, into the jungle or into the land of the rising sun, Japan. On my travels, I find new sources of inspiration for my art and collect unique materials like brushes and paper. I combine both elements in my poetic and exotic artworks, which allow you to live as if you are already on holiday. You can find these works in my online shop tinystories.nl. Holiday flair for the home, so to speak! A day on the beach Immerse yourself in the colours of the sea and get an extra dose of vitamin sea. As our colour themes, we use light wood tones, white and, especially, every imaginable nuance of blue to invite a fresh breeze through your apartment. In combination with maritime furniture and accessories, you can sink into the blue of the ocean when you look at the 30 x 40 cm art print INTO THE BLUE (€59.95) or laze on the sofa at home, dreaming of the next beach trip and the fine sand under our feet. The picture is available in a limited edition of 300. Urban jungle Tropical diversity and green flora create a jungle atmosphere at home. You can easily obtain this effect in a 30 x 40 cm or 50 x 70 cm picture format on your wall. The artwork BALI (from €49.95) allows the viewer to dive into the exotic green world of Indonesia. It’s a high-quality reproduction. The original painting was painted with Japanese brushes on vintage paper. This tropical motif can unfold its full effect in combination with other green decorative elements, such as a monstera or banana leaf placed in a sisal pot next to the artwork. Big in Japan meets Scandi Love Why choose between Copenhagen and Tokyo if both are possible? Scandinavian sobriety combines with Japanese elegance: Welcome to the much-loved Japandi style! The straight-line look with its clear design language is grounded in high-quality natural materials, illustrating that "Less is more". The abstract, two-dimensional art print AWAKENING OF THE SENSES (30 x 40 cm, €59.95) combines a Scandinavian colour palette with white, pastel black and grey.

Happy home with blue artworks Let's welcome the mood-enhancing colour blue! Intense blue tones are taking over our walls this summer to create a happy home and feel-good atmosphere. The calming and clear colour positively affects both body and mind, even in its more intense nuances. It can elevate your mood and help you concentrate and focus. Blue decorative elements can work wonders, especially in the areas surrounding your desk.  Below, I have compiled my three favourite blue art prints: Floral joy The art print INDIGO FLOWERS (from €59.95 and limited to 300 copies) is available in the size 30 x 40 cm. Tightly packed floral silhouettes are kept in a deep blue tone and provide a naturally beautiful interior.  Glancing into the depths The art print INTO THE BLUE (from €59.95) promises to relax your eyes. Strong blue shades meet a breezy pastel tone and form a harmonious connection. The abstract art print is a high-quality, limited-edition reproduction, and is available in the size 30 x 40 cm. Radiant lemons The bright yellow art print CITRONS à L‘INDIGO (from €39.95) speaks of warm summer evenings and southern countries. Embrace your wanderlust and enjoy the exotic charisma of this work, painted in Morocco. This quality reproduction is available in an A4 size – framed or unframed.

Wanderlust and enjoyment of art There are many destinations for those with wanderlust or a desire to travel. Set off into the wide world by starting right here in your home. Allow my exotic artworks with their vibrant colours to lead the way. During my travels, I always collect new sources of inspiration and unique materials. I then combine both in my artworks and invite you to immerse yourself in these distant locations of yearning at www.tinystories.nl.  In the article below, you can find my highlight art works:  Oriental Dreams This monoprint, inspired by the intoxicating city of Marrakesh (€49.95), is available in a 30 x 40 cm size. Known as the “red city” because of the colour of its walls, Marrakesh reveals its  colourful cloak of dark red tones at sunset, as I express in this work.  Coastal love In this abstract, two-dimensional print with soft grey and beige tones, I center my love for the coast and the Frisian islands where I spent my childhood holidays. The 30 x 40 cm art print Coast (€49. 95) is available in a limited edition of a total of 300 pieces. Flowers from Korea The sensual and simultaneously powerful portrait of a woman captivates the viewer's gaze. On my trip through Korea, I acquired special handmade brushes that inspired me to create the motif Korean Flowers (from €39.95). This quality reproduction of the original on vintage paper is available in the sizes 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm and 50 x 70 cm. Behind The Scenes: Bali Travel Impressions "Memories of Bali...I walk home through rice paddies,emerald paddy fields.Whispering blades of grassswaying in the gentle breeze. Let's go wandering againdrawn by the innocenceof these deep green rice paddies."Tiny de Vries    The idea for this painting came about during a hike through the emerald green rice fields of Bali. We inhale deeply, our mind comes to rest, while our eyes become immersed in the vibrant blue and green tones of the landscape impression Bali (€49.95) and are allowed to recover from the outside world. The art print is available in a 30 x 40 cm size in my online shop www.tinystories.nl.  I share travel inspirations, personal snapshots and special finds from the world of art and interiors on Instagram @tinystories.nl or on my Pinterest channel @tinystoriesartshop.
